t Do one of the following:
- Double-click the iNEWS Workstation icon, usually located somewhere on the desktop.
- Select Start > Programs > Avid > iNEWS.
n
If the icon is not on the desktop or iNEWS is not located in the Start menu, check with your
system administrator to determine if the program is installed on the computer.
The iNEWS Server Connection dialog box appears.
You must then log in.
To log in to iNEWS:
1. From the iNEWS Server Connection dialog box, enter your user name in the User text box.
n
In most cases, the next two steps can be skipped. Typically, you will not have to choose a server
or local database. If you need to do so, and do not know the name of the server or local
database, contact your system administrator.
2. If necessary, choose a server to connect your workstation to the shared iNEWS Server
database.
3. If necessary, choose a local database to connect to a database stored on your workstation.
For more information about local databases, see
“Local Databases” on page 202.
4. Enter your password in the Password text box. As you type in the password, symbols display
on screen in place of what you type to ensure confidentiality.
