Create and delete assignments and mappings in MainStage
The Assignments & Mappings tab includes an Assign & Map button so you can quickly
create new assignments and mappings. You can also create assignments and mappings
independent of any screen control, allowing you to use a hardware control to adjust the
value of a parameter or action for which there is no screen control in the workspace.
You can also delete assignments and mappings in the Assignments & Mappings table.
When you select a row in the table with both an assignment and a mapping, only the
mapping is deleted. When you select a row containing only an assignment, an alert
appears. If the assignment has a screen control, the assignment is deleted but the screen
control remains in the table. If the assignment has no screen control, the entire row is
deleted.
