and click Apply Rules.
4. In the Rule description box, click on each of the underlined values to define your custom rule. The
customizable values available with the built in templates are:
• Name. Use the name of the category or property as it is displayed in the interface
(recommended). You can also choose Internal Name which is that accessed via the API (for
advanced use only).
• '<category>'. Choose from the available list, which category the property you wish to define is in.
Only the categories that are contained in the scene are available in the drop down.
• '<property>'. Choose from the available list, which property you wish to define. Again, only the
properties in the scene within the chosen category will be available.
5. Click OK to add the new ignore rule, or Cancel to return to JetStream.
The three options on the right hand side of the dialog affect how these rules are applied to the scene:
Setting Presenter Rules Options
1. Check Override current mappings if you want to override any existing mappings from Presenter
materials to items in the selection tree.
2. Check Apply to current selection if you want to apply this rule only to the currently selected items in
the scene. Be aware that this is the default setting, so if your rule seems not to have worked, check
that you don't have this option checked with nothing selected in the scene.
3. Check Apply to all instances if you want to apply this rule to all instances of any multiply-instanced
item affected by the rule.
