On the left side of the user level screens (Live, Player and MultiView) you can find several pre-defined softbuttons on the left-hand side of the image.
You can customize these buttons in order to facilitate certain work processes or to simplify the access to certain actions or dialogs. For example, you can define a softbutton for calling the URL of an external alarm plan in an emergency or for sending IP Notify messages to other computers or cameras. Also, you can use these buttons to control the features of the pan/tilt head via the serial interface.
You can configure a softbutton in the screen of your choice by [Shift]-clicking the button.
In order to edit softbutton functions, go to the Manage Softbutton Functions dialog and edit, add or delete features in the list.
Hold down [Shift] and click on one of the softbuttons on the Live, Player or MultiView screens.
