The Channel List shows the channel recorded in a preset (or group). It is possible to add your own notes to describe the focus as well as add a suggested focus cue. Channels are usually added when adding presets or by using the Add Channels toolbar button.
To edit cells in the Notes and Focus Cue columns simply double click the cell. It is possible to select multiple rows to edit multiple channels.
