Follow Cues
Follow enables you to program cues to run automatically. A Follow time on a cue is
the length of time the system pauses after the cue’s activation before automatically
starting the next cue. A Follow uses the next cue on the Cue List, unless the cue
with the follow time is Linked to a different cue number.
Follow cues are shown indented on the cue list as a visual reminder that they don't
need to be executed by the board operator:
