Unassigning a Preset
Unassigning a camera’s preset deletes the preset’s name and script tag, leaving the camera position stored in the camera intact. When you
unassign a preset, the following changes take effect:
• The preset name no longer appears in the presets drop-down list in the camera’s gadget.
• Scripts defined by the system administrator can no longer refer to the preset.
To unassign a camera’s preset, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to edit the presets for that camera.
To unassign a preset:
1. Open the Device Control dialog box for the desired camera and go to the Presets tab.
2. Click the preset, and then click Unassign. The preset’s name and script tag are deleted and the preset appears in the list as Unassigned_i.
Scripts will no longer be able to refer to the preset, and the preset will no longer be available through the presets drop-down list in the
camera’s gadget.
NOTE: Unassigning a preset that is referred to in a script introduces an error into the script.
