Inventory

The Inventory section, in the left-side pane, displays a list of hardware items to use in your system. In a new design, the Inventory list is populated with only a Q-SYS Core processor. You must add the other items that match your physical inventory. Each inventory item contains at least one component that can be placed into the schematic, configured, and connected to other components as needed.

  1. Click the plus ( + ) icon in the Inventory accordion bar.
  2. Select the tab for the equipment type you want to add.
  3. Click the item to add to the Inventory.

For configuration details, refer to the item's individual help topic (select item and press F1).

You can create virtual Locations based on physical location, or what ever you want.

For example, a Location could be an equipment room, or a specific rack in the equipment room. Another example would be one Location for all the equipment used for a specific purpose. Items are in the "Default Location" when you add them to the Inventory list.

  • Select an item (in the Inventory list, or the Schematic) and type a new Location name in the Properties of that item.
  • This new Location is now available to select for other Inventory items.
  1. From the Inventory accordion bar, click the filter icon.
  2. Select a Type from the drop-down list. Only the selected type of Inventory items display.
  3. Click the filter icon again to close the filtering fields.

Click the double braces { } to cycle through the groupings, or use the drop-down list and choose a grouping option:

  • Group by Type: The Types available to group by are Amplifiers, DAB-801, Core, Line Arrays, Speakers, Subwoofers, and I/O Frames. This also works with the Filter feature.
  • Group by Location: Each item in the Inventory list can be given a Location. When you Group by Location, all the items in the Inventory list are listed under their separate Locations. This grouping works in conjunction with the Filter feature. Once the list is Filtered, the Group by Location only lists those items available in the Filtered list.
  • Group by Q-SYS Reflect: Sorts inventory items based on Q-SYS Reflect licensing requirements.
  • Group by Status: Only works in Run mode. Groupings can be OK, Updating, Unknown, and so on.
