Template Shows

To display show files in the Template Shows folder, the show file need to be placed manually into a specific folder in the library of the local device. For more information, see Folder Structure.

To place an already saved show file into the template show folder on a grandMA3 console, use an external SFTP client. For more information, see SFTP Connection to a Console .
