Setup List Reports:
Setup reports are used to assist crew members in setting up a show. There are three types of setup reports available, which represent how the mortar racks will be organized: segment, module or position. The report you use will depend on how you organize the layout of your show. This report will give you a separate sub-report for each mortar group, which can then be handed off to the crews assigned to setup each position.

Each report begins with a rack count summary, which is useful when doing the initial rack
placements. Note that the sum of all
rack counts from each setup group may differ slightly between the different
report types. This is due to the fact
that racks are not shared between groups, so different group types will give
slightly different results. As mentioned previously, the total rack counts
found on the summary page are summed up based on position based groups. If you are using segment or module based
setups, you will need to sum up the rack counts on each setup group by hand in
order to get your total rack count.
The second table in the report, the Cue List, is used when loading the mortars after all
the racks are setup. This table gives
you the cue number, shell size, shell count and mortar angle along with a
description. Background shading on each
table row is alternated between each cue as a visual aid when reading the
list. In cases where a single cue has
multiple shells that fire from mortars with different angles, the cue will be
broken out into multiple lines so that each mortar angle can be seen. The background shading will expand to cover
cues that are spread out like this, making them easier to read.
Setup by Position
Setup by Module
Setup by Segment
If your mortars will be placed in groups according
to firing positions, which is probably the most common scenario, then you will
want to print the Setup by Position reports.
This insures that your rack usage will not be shared between position
groups, giving you an accurate rack count.
If your mortar groups are arranged around modules instead of firing positions, then
this is the report to use. This report insures
that your rack usage will not be shared between module groups, giving you an
accurate rack count.
This is probably not a very common way of laying out a show, but the capability is here
for anyone who needs it. Segments are
defined and assigned in your show as a way of organizing effects into groups,
then this report is used to setup the show.
