Event time e this column isonly displayed in Cue Lists that have an Event Source associated with them. It displays the time at which the cue will be triggered.

The hold times are normally greyed out since they are only used when the Seq mode is active or if Force Hold Times is checked in the Cue Control Panel.

When a cue is activated the times display a bar graph that dynamically indicates the progress of the fade.

The bar at the top of the view contains a combo box which is used to select the Cue List.

This bar will display a red asterisk if the contents of the view are added to or altered in anyway indicating that the file must be saved if the changes are to be retained.
