If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be useful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
Contextual Filtering
Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate. However, it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering.
To help you identify them, our device docs use italic for any values that trigger contextual filtering. All options will be listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about that in the Description field for that option.

A function listens for an event on a device then performs an action.
-
For any function, click the option, then Select Device to access and select from the Device dropdown menu.
-
Once you've selected a device, click Select Event and select the event that triggers this function.
-
If more than one device or event triggers a function, press the Add button to add a line and repeat these steps.
