Default channel type: When creating a new fixture, the channel type will automatically be set to this type where applicable.

Automatically Show the Prop Properties Box After Using a Wizard to Create 2 or More Fixtures: If you use a wizard to create a prop, if that prop contains more than two fixtures and you have selected this option, the Prop Properties dialog will be shown.
 
When Creating New Channels for a fixture, create a channel name based on...: Selecting one or more of the options will allow the system to create a default channel name based on the options.  These defaults are only if the channel is new.
