TASK WINDOW The Task window lists all the auxiliary timelines of your presentation, along
with their status and triggering expression.
The status of each task is shown in the Status column. An auxiliary timeline can
be in either of three states, as indicated by the two buttons (see illustration
above). While stopped, its cues have no effect on the stage.
An auxiliary timeline can be started by either of the following events:
• Manually, for instance by clicking the Play symbol in the Task list.
• By external inputs, using its triggering expression (see page 212).
• By another timeline, using a Control cue set to target the auxiliary timeline.
For more details see “Auxiliary Timeline” on page 210 and “Control Cue” on
page 193.
Changing the Stacking Order An auxiliary timeline always performs in front of the main timeline on stage.
When multiple auxiliary timelines are active at the same time, their front-to-
back stacking order is typically controlled by their order in the Task window.
