Purge Interval
purge
Indicates the “age” stories in a queue can reach
before they are purged. See “Purge Interval” on
page 29 for more information.
Display Lines/Refresh
dis /+|-refresh
Indicates how many lines of each story in the
queue are displayed. See “The dis Column” on
page 33 for more information.
Queue Form
qform
The form used to display information in the
Queue panel. Fields selected should be a sub-set
of fields used in the story form. A field included
in the queue form that does not actually exist in
the story form cannot be written to in the Queue
panel.
In this example the rundown form is assigned as
the queue form to the
SHOWS.6PM.RUNDOWN queue:
dbtraits show.6pm.rundown qform
rundown
Story Form
sform
Indicates the form assigned to be used in the
Story Form panel (of the Story panel) to display
form fields.
In this example the futures form is assigned as
the story form to the ASSIGNMENTS.TODAY
queue:
dbtraits assignments.today sform
future
Change Form
cform
Changes the story form assignment for
previously existing stories within a queue, and
restamps them with a new form name. The
following example would change the way
stories in the 6 o'clock show would appear,
reassigning them to be displayed using a newly
designed rundown form.
Example:
dbtraits show.6pm.rundown sform
rundown-new cform
For this to take effect, you need to log out and
log back in again.
