Simple temp tab clarification question...

I want to set up my print to turn the cooling fan on AFTER the first layer is printed. I know I can set that up within the "temp" tab, but what I am confused about is the "Per Layer Fan Controls". I set first layer speed to 0, I set second layer speed to 100. Because it is "per layer". please don't tell me I have to set the speed for EACH layer!!!! There has to be a better way?!?!
How do I set this up to start the print cooling fan on the second layer and leave it on until the print is done?
Thank you for your time
Bill

Fan speed is constant for all subsequent layer: if you set fan speed to 100% starting at layer 5, it will be at 100% on layers 5-NNN.

That is what I was hoping for. Thank you for getting back to me.
