Endorsing a Story

Field Separators
Your system administrator may define a character on your keyboard, like the "at" sign (@), to act
as a field separator to allow you to fit the contents of more than one field on a single line in a
character generator production cue. (The default is the carriage return.)
Field separators can be used to define a character generator display that has multiple items on
one line (such as a number of sports scores).
Using field separators in this way has no effect on the super itself, but it can help you to format
the text items correctly in a production cue.
Endorsing a Story
Endorsing a story means approving it for broadcast. Only individuals authorized by the system
administrator can endorse a story, by using the Endorse-By field, which is optional for rundowns.
See your system administrator to find out if this field is used at your site and whether you have
the authority to endorse a story.
To endorse a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to work with.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click a story to select it.
3. In the Queue panel, do one of the following:
t Locate the Endorse-By field and click it for the story you selected.
t Select Story > Approve.
The blank field is replaced with your user ID and the color changes to green.
To remove the endorsement of a story:
1. Open the story.
2. Locate the Endorse-By field in the Story Form sub-panel and delete the user name that
appears in it.
This changes the field back to red.
Inserting a Break Line
It is possible to change any line in a rundown queue into a break line, such as for a commercial.
