Allowed

---------------F--
+f|-f
Must be assigned to all queues in the forms
directory. The forms will not work without this
database trait applied. Additionally, this trait
can be assigned to any queue in the database,
but is usually only assigned to other queues that
receive stories from other systems via rx/tx and
then build forms for those stories, as needed.
For instance, to assign the forms allowed trait to
the SYSTEM.FORMS.R queue:
dbtraits system.forms.r +f
Index
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT
----------------i-
+index|-index
Assigned to queues and directories that you
want to be indexed by the Fast Text Search
(FTS) server. Allows for quicker searching of
the queue or directory.
For instance, to assign this trait to the
WIRES.ALL queue:
dbtraits wires.all +index
Text
Timing
Clocks
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT
-----------------T
+t|-t
Turns on the Text Timing Clocks, which appear
in the Story Text panel. They are:
TTC - Time to cursor
BLK - Time of blocked (highlighted) text
EST - Estimated read time of entire story
To turn on these clocks in the
RUNDOWN.5PM, type:
dbtraits rundown.5pm +t
Sortfield
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT sortfield
Q----------------- Title
sortfield
Indicates which form field a sorted queue is
sorted by. See “Sortfield” on page 27 for more
information.
When the sortfield is on, all the stories in the
queue are sorted. When used on a large queue,
the command prompt and control will not be
returned until the entire queue is sorted. This
may take a long time dependin on the size of the
queue.
