Pitstop Server Action List Multi-line Text With Variables Defined

Hey everyone,

When working with the remote designer I can't select the action lists for Pitstop server. You can specify them as Multi-line Text with Varaibles.

How does this work? I tried putting in the action name and the action is loaded on Pitstop server which is on the same PC as Switch.

The actions are in a group folder though. Banners -> Acttion 1

The action names are also unique.

I believe this is what you're looking for. Under Action List(s), choose 'Select Many from Library.'

In the Pitstop Server Configurator window, click the Plus button at the bottom right corner.

Hey wkopp,

I know how to allocate the Action list in this manner. But you need to be not using the remote designer to access the library. There seems to be the ability to use Multi-line Text with variables defined where you can specify your action lists. I was trying to learn how to use this so I could configure the action lists using the remote designer.

Sorry, I haven't used the remote designer so I don't know the limitations. Have you tried using a direct path to the .eal file?

To my knowledge, there are two ways you can reference it using variables:
- The name of the action list/preflight profile, without extension
- The full path to the action list/preflight profile, including extension

You are correct you need to provide the full path to the action including the extension.

Thanks for your help.
