The Workgroup Properties application uses colored icons—in combination with
text—on the Services tab to show the status (started and/or enabled) of all Avid services.
A user can click the Advanced button to see more information about individual services.
The icons displayed provide fast, easy identification of the current status of an Avid
service.
For more information on viewing Avid services using the Workgroup Properties
application, see the Avid Service Framework User’s Guide.
Confirming Command Inventory
You should confirm that the inventory of media available to Command is appearing properly
at a Command Workstation.
To confirm that the Avid iNEWS Command system is seeing inventory correctly:
1. Start the Command client application.
2. If the Inventory panel is not already open, select View > Inventory.
3. Click the down arrow (indicated in the graphic) and select a channel group from the list.
The Inventory panel shows the inventory (media) for a selected channel group in a table
or spreadsheet-style format. You can see the media’s availability, clip ID, name (slug),
duration, and the time when it was last modified. A user can select a different channel
group using the drop-down arrow in the top right corner of the panel. When a user
selects an item in the inventory, further details become available for viewing at the
bottom of the panel. The size of the list and details area can be adjusted with the Resize
bar that separates the two areas.
For more information on the Inventory panel, see the Avid iNEWS Command User’s
Guide.
