Preset Views for Monitor

I like to work with 2 different types of views in Monitor, one with everything visible and egocentric sorting on, But then sometimes I like to switch to non egocentric and only see the active and pending jobs. This is a pain to switch back and forth. Is there a way to save a few preset views for easy switching?

Hi Jordan,

This isn’t possible at the moment, but it is on our todo list. Currently, the Monitor layout is saved to a monitorOptions.xml file in the Deadline settings folder (which is stored in your local user profile). Theoretically, saving presets would just be a matter of allowing users to save out their own options files and then load then in later. We might be able to look into this for the next release (ie: Deadline 4.2).

Cheers,

+1 from me, this would be most useful!

Great! It would be good to have quick access to this in either a dropdown on the taskbar or assigned to a hot key (like Nuke does for Layouts). Also naming them for the dropdown would be important.
