Queue Properties
To ensure seamless interaction between Avid iNEWS and iNEWS Command, the queue
properties for newsroom rundowns must be configured properly. This section provides a few
things to verify in the Queue Properties dialog box of Avid iNEWS. For more information
on the Queue Properties dialog box, see Chapter 5 in the Avid iNEWS Setup and
Configuration Manual.
To view the Queue Properties dialog box:
1. Log in to an iNEWS Workstation.
2. Navigate to a rundown associated with iNEWS Command.
3. Right-click on that rundown in Directory panel.
4. Select Properties.

On the Forms tab, ensure that the appropriate story form is chosen. The selected form must
contain fields for all necessary media events. The queue form determines the look of the

drop-down lists if they exist in the database. For information about how to create your own
