The Custom module

[Jim Fogle]

Thanks Steve.  I've not explored the custom module yet .  I had removed the custom module from the control bar and forgot it.

I have one version saved as part of some custom Workspaces [formerly Lenses].  When I switch to factory Workspaces, the factory default custom buttons get loaded.

If you know this, maybe it won't confuse you when you do stuff with Workspaces. I suspect its because the factory Workspaces (at least Basic and Advanced) have either the Custom Module and/or the Control Bar Layout saved (maybe).  I haven't explored the specifics--yet.

       

Footnote: Thanks for this discussion. In my Staff Entry Workspace I have an empty, narrow Control Bar band, but this discussion leads me to want to add some small horizontal modules (screensets and custom) if I can.

Now I just need to change the images so I can see them!

BTW, if a function in a custom module is not in a personalized Workspace, it appears grayed out.  (I have a reduced View Set in my Staff Entry Workspace. I might add back Event List, but I really want to stay away from micromanaging ticks--too easy to get side tracked from doing notes in favor of tweaking.)
