To switch between the **symbol view** ![](/img/dot2/dot2_viewsandwindows_controlelements_titlebar02_1-0-3925d0.png), the **sheet view** ![](/img/dot2/dot2_viewsandwindows_controlelements_titlebar03_1-0-0203d2.png), or to one of the five **layout views** ![](/img/dot2/dot2_viewsandwindows_controlelements_titlebar23_1-2-7af671.png), tap on the respective icon in the [title bar](/dot2/key_title_bar/).

In the first column is the fixture ID displayed. In the second column is the fixture name displayed. Those two columns are fixed. After the fixture name column are the attributes displayed, in the same order like the [preset type bar](/dot2/key_widget_presettypebar/). If you use a preset, the name of the preset is displayed instead of the value. ![](/img/dot2/dot2_viewsandwindows_fixturesview08_1-2-cd421f.png) _Figure 7: Fixtures sheet view with used preset contrabass_ To toggle to values, tap the symbol "Values Only" on the left of the pin. ![](/img/dot2/dot2_fixture-sheet-view_value-of-preset-contrabass_v1-3-4523d3.png) _Figure 8: Fixture sheet view with values of the preset contrabass _ To adjust the column width, press and hold the vertical column line next to the column header and move the column.
