    Would it be possible to give fixtures a custom name in reports to clean up the fixture type column from using the full name Capture uses:

    Example- James Thomas Engineering Molefey 2 Cell Blinder. This would read much better on the reports page if it were ‘2 Cell Blinder’

    Or the ability to give something a shorter name such as Robe Robin LEDBeam 150 RGBW becomes LEDBeam 150.


    A colour column would also be useful.
    Currently I am typing my own reports in excel and have a column relating to which ‘colour’ truss those fixtures are on. This isn’t the head colour within capture plots but would be super useful and mean I can create all my paperwork within Capture. A colour box within the fixture properties would solve this as it could be inserted as a column in the report

    Cancel that request. I just make a new column out of something like ‘purpose’ and rename fixture to whatever I want.

    Well, maybe it can be re-added ;-)

    if there could be a central place in which the fixture names could be altered, that would be nice.

    now you would have to change the name in all your plot layouts keys and also in all your reports. For reports your work-around is easy, for plots not really.
