3. Set the number of minutes between automatic story backups. The default is 10 minutes. To
turn off automatic backups, set the interval to zero (0) minutes.
4. A default location for backup copies is created on your local disk when iNEWS is installed.
The default location appears in the Directory text box. If you want to accept the default, you
can skip this step. Otherwise, specify where to store backup copies by doing either of the
following:
t Type the directory path name.
t Click the Browse button and select a location on your local PC.
5. Click OK.
Setting Refresh Preferences
You can set the minimum time between screen refreshes. On a slower workstation PC, if you are
working in a busy rundown queue, this option is advantageous because you can delay screen
refreshing to show many changes at once rather than interrupting your workstation for each
refresh event.
To set refresh preference:
1. Select Tools > Options > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
2. Click the Refresh tab.
3. Enter the minimum delay, in seconds, until the next story refreshes.
The default is five, which means the system will refresh every five seconds. To change the
minimum delay between refreshes, enter a new number.
4. Click OK.
