Set Controller Default Settings

New controllers are created by using a set of default settings that can be changed.

To change the default settings for every new controller that is created, from the Controllers tab, select the menu, and then Default settings.

Changes to default settings will only affect controllers that are created after the changes are saved. Existing controller settings will not be affected.

To save changes, make changes and select Save.
