Template Step management

This panel is used to list and manage all template steps of Ramses.

Template steps can be used when configuring a project and its pipeline, to quickly create steps for the project. Read the section about Pipelines for more details about steps, and the section about the step management in the Ramses Client Application to learn how to create and manage steps inside projects.

List

The list on the left lists all the template steps, and you can use the Search field to filter them by name or ID.
When changing the size of the rows in the list, more details about each template step can be displayed.

Use the button to create a new template step. The button removes the selected template steps from Ramses¹.

You can use the [Shift + A] shortcut key to quickly add template steps.

You can use the [DEL] or [Shift + X] shortcut key to quickly remove selected template steps.

You can scroll all lists using [Middle click] as well as the [Mouse wheel].
