# Assign Sources to Quasar Input Channels

Once you create all required Sources, you need to assign them to the input channels of your Quasar Engine, and save this configuration in what we call a “Show Profile.”

**There are two ways to assign Sources to Faders.**

1. Assign Sources directly from the console, then capture your configuration into a Show.
2. Create a Show Profile from the Web UI and assign sources to your channels from within this page.

### From The Console

1. Push the top encoder on the channel strip you want to load with a source.
2. Select the Source tab in the Master Touchscreen module.

A list of all sources you configured on your console, that are active on the network is displayed.
3. Select a source by scrolling the touchscreen and pushing the Load Source button on the right.

The source will be loaded on the fader and will be shown in the display.

> [!WARNING]
> NOTE: The list above does not display inactive sources. These are sources that are either disconnected from the network or switched off.

### From the Web UI

1. From your PC, navigate the the “Shows” main page.
2. Click **Create New Show Profile**

After clicking on “**Create new show profile**” button, a dialog is displayed.
3. Type in the new profile name.
4. Click **Create Show**.

The following page will appear. Here you will assign sources to each channel by selecting the source from the drop-down list associated with each channel.
