Glossary
231
path name The hierarchical name of the directory and queue in which a story is located. For
instance, the pathname for the yankees queue is
WIRES.SPORTS.STORIES.YANKEES.
priority
queue
1. An area where iNEWS places copies of wire stories (usually in
WIRES.ADVISORY.PRIORITY).
2. It is also a queue designated to be read first by a server program for new stories.
production
cue
A prompt to start a story element, such as a video playback. In iNEWS, it is typically
to the left of a scripted story in the Instruction panel, and provides information for
other devices controlled in the rundown. Production cues are usually prefaced by a
grommet.
production
lock
A type of lock that prevents other users accessing a queue while it is in production.
Setting a production lock does three things:
• Prevents other users from reordering a queue.
• Prevents other users from killing an approved story without explicitly removing
the endorsement on them first.
• Allows only the user who placed the lock to use show timing.
purge To remove old stories from queues and place them in the dead queue. Purged stories
are recycled as needed as new space is required.
purge
interval
A queue trait that indicates the time after which a story is considered “old.” The
iNEWS system will scan the entire database hourly and purge old stories from a
queue.
query
language
Query language is the unique, formal language that enables you to request
information from files created in iNEWS.
queue An area of the database containing stories related to a similar general topic.
queue form The area used to display the contents, size, and labels of a Queue panel.
queue
panel
An area in the iNEWS workspace that contains a list of the stories in a queue. Users
can add, delete, and sequence stories in the Queue panel.
queue
property
A trait that controls characteristics of a queue. Queue properties include the refresh
trait, read-only purge interval, sorting, and so on.
read
access
Authority granted to users that allows them to read and duplicate the contents of a
directory, queue, or story.
