The graphic control form

Selecting a graphic in the rundown opens its control form in the bottom panel of the control panel. This is where the operator edits the values that change at show time: a host's name, a sponsor's logo, a current score, or whatever fields the template designer marked as controllable.

How the form is generated

The control form is built automatically from the graphic's template. Every field marked as controllable in the template's manifest appears as an input on the form.

  • For OGraf templates, the form follows the manifest declared by the template author.
  • For Lottie templates, the form follows the configuration set when the template was uploaded (which text and image layers were exposed, and how they were named).

You don't write or maintain the form by hand. If a field you expected to control is missing, the issue is in the template's manifest or the upload configuration, not the control form itself.

Customising the layout

The form's default layout is a straightforward top-to-bottom list of fields. For graphics with many fields or a specific operator workflow, you can rearrange it.

In the control panel footer, click Edit layout to enter layout-edit mode. Drag fields to reorder them, group them into rows, and resize columns to suit how the operator works. Layout changes are saved per-graphic, so each graphic in the rundown can have its own arrangement.

Updating a graphic while it's on air

Many fields can be changed live, but the change isn't pushed to the on-air output automatically. After editing a controllable field while the graphic is live, click Update to send the new values to the output. This gives the operator deliberate control over when changes appear on screen, instead of every keystroke flickering on the broadcast.

If the graphic isn't on air, edits apply the next time it's taken.
