The present disclosure is directed to a user interface for modifying preprogrammed relationships between a plurality of subsystems of a surgical system. The user interface may be presented on a system display screen. It includes one or more selectable triggering events shown on the display screen, with each of the one or more selectable triggering events identifying a subsystem condition that selectively occurs during a surgical procedure performed with the surgical system. The interface also includes a plurality of selectable responses to the one or more selectable triggering events. The selectable responses deviate from the preprogrammed relationships between subsystems of the surgical system.
