For authoritative or safety-relevant information, cite the canonical page on help.malighting.com. --- Markers are color indicators in form of a bar, square, or a thin line. Markers are visible in: - [Channel Sheet](/grandma2/key_of_channel_sheet/) - [Fixture Sheet](/grandma2/key_of_fixture_sheet/) - [Sequence Content Sheet](/grandma2/key_cs_cue_content/#content_sheet) - [Sequence Tracking Sheet](/grandma2/key_cs_cue_content/#tracking_sheet) - [Layout View](/grandma2/key_layouts/) The name column in the fixture sheet displays a maker summery of all attribute markers of the fixture. There are the following markers there: **Red:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_red-marker_v3-2-e9797f.png) _Red Marker_ Red markers indicate active programmer values (storable). **Pink and Red:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_pink-red-marker_v3-2-5d47f9.png) _Pink and Red Marker_ _ _First Pink and then a red marker indicate active effect values in the programmer (storable). **Big Cyan:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_red-cyan-marker_v3-2-f3241a.png) _Big Cyan Marker_ Big cyan markers in the fixture sheet indicate preset values in the programmer.\ Big cyan markers in the sequence tracking sheet indicate preset values in a sequence. **Small Cyan** (except for the sequence tracking sheet): ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_small-cyan-marker_v3-2-1ec9c6.png) _Small Cyan Marker_ Small cyan markers indicate preset values from a sequence. **Blue:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_blue-marker_v3-2-6e1cf6.png) _Blue Marker_ Blue markers indicate parked values – no matter the size of the marker. **Big Pink:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_pink-marker_v3-2-e23ada.png) _Big Pink Marker_ Big pink markers indicate effect values. **Small Pink:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_small-pink-marker_v3-2-07bfff.png) _Small Pink Marker_ Small pink markers indicate stomped effect values. For more information on this effect see [Stomp Keyword](/grandma2/key_keyword_stomp/). **White:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_white-marker_v3-2-e0e7c5.png) _White Marker_ White markers indicate programmer values which cannot be stored. **Green:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_green-marker_v3-2-f64d10.png) _Green Marker_ Green markers indicate active individual (= storeable) fade times in the programmer. **Pink, Red, and Green:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_pink-red-green-marker_v3-2-4a7cc5.png) _Pink, Red, and Green Marker_ Pink, red, and green markers in the combination from left to right indicate active effect fade times in the programmer. **Orange:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_orange-marker_v3-2-1a7e1a.png) _Orange Marker_ Orange markers indicate active individual (= storeable) delay times in the programmer. **Pink, Red, and Orange:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_pink-red-orange-marker_v3-2-cbdfc0.png) _Pink, Red, and Orange Marker_ Pink, red, and orange markers in the combination from left to right indicate active effect delay times in the programmer. **Small Yellow:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_small-yellow-marker_v3-2-11b7e5.png) _Small Yellow Marker_ Small yellow markers in the fixture sheet, channel sheet, or layout view, indicate values from a sequence. **Big Yellow:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_sequence-tracking-sheet_big-yellow-marker_v3-2-cf9785.png) _Big Yellow Marker_ Big yellow markers in the sequence tracking sheet or sequence content sheet indicate stored values. **Gray:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_gray-marker_v3-2-8bb3b9.png) _Gray Marker_ Gray markers indicate that at least one attribute of a fixture uses a DMX profile. This marker is only visible in output layers. **Purple:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_purple-bitmap-marker_v3-3-e4df15.png) _Purple Marker_ Purple markers indicate attributes that were calculated in the bitmap fixture. --- ## Pool Object Marker Colors The pool object markers are used in pool objects and they indicate which values are stored in the pool object, in the preset pools and in the filter pools. For more information see [What are Filters?](/grandma2/key_wfm_what_are_filters/) and [Preset Pools](/grandma2/key_presets_pools/). **Yellow Pool Object Marker:** ![](/img/grandma2/img_filter-pool-yellow-marker_v3_2-9ffdc9.png) _Yellow Pool Object Marker_ Yellow pool object markers indicate that attribute values are stored in the pool object. **Important:**\ If a pool object just contains values , the yellow marker will not be displayed. **Pink Pool Object Marker:** ![](/img/grandma2/img_filter-pool-pink-marker_v3_2-715b28.png) _Pink Pool Object Marker_ Pink pool object markers indicate that effect values are stored in the pool object. **Green Pool Object Marker:** ![](/img/grandma2/img_presets-pool-green-marker_v3_2-4e6933.png) _Green Pool Object Marker_ Green pool object markers indicate that individual fade times are stored in the pool object. **Orange Pool Object Marker:** ![](/img/grandma2/img_presets-pool-orange-marker_v3_2-3e920a.png) _Orange Pool Object Marker_ Orange pool object markers indicate that individual delay times are stored in the pool object. --- ## Shapes Of Markers **Bar:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_red-marker_v3-2-e9797f.png) _Bar – Marker Shape_ If a marker is displayed in form of a bar – in red or white – the value is in the programmer. **Square:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_small-cyan-marker_v3-2-1ec9c6.png) _Square – Marker Shape_ If a marker is displayed in form of a square – no matter the color – the value is in the playback.  **Thin Line:** ![](/img/grandma2/window_fixture-sheet_dark-yellow-value_v3-2-b6e0dc.png) _Thin Line – Marker Shape_ If a marker is displayed in form of a thin line (here: the thin line in cyan in the upper left corner of the value) – no matter the color – the value is tracked.  --- ## Enable or Disable Markers You can enable or disable the markers. By default, the markers are enabled. To enable or disable the markers in the: - [Fixtures Sheet](/grandma2/key_of_fixture_sheet/) - [Channel Sheet](/grandma2/key_of_channel_sheet/) - [Sequence Content Sheet](/grandma2/key_cs_cue_content/#content_sheet) - [Sequence Tracking Sheet](/grandma2/key_cs_cue_content/#tracking_sheet) \- Tap the **yellow ball** ![](/img/grandma2/icon_yellow-ball_3_2-329eb0.png), tap Display  and then at **Enable Marker** tap On or Off. \- To enable or disable the marker in the [Layout View](/grandma2/key_layouts/), tap at the **yellow ball** ![](/img/grandma2/icon_yellow-ball_3_2-329eb0.png), tap Layout Data and at **Marker** tap Yes or No. The markers are enabled or disabled. To save the the settings, save the settings as default or save the view.
