Displaying or Hiding the Status bar
While the iNEWS system provides the status bar to display vital, instant information, you can
decide whether to display or hide the status bar at any workstation.
To display or hide the status bar:
t Select View > Status bar.
The status bar, when unchecked, will not be displayed as part of the main window.
Priority Queue Displays various information related to urgent wire stories coming in to the
priority queue.
• When an urgent wire story arrives, the title of the story—often truncated—is
shown and the section appears in different colors, such as yellow or orange.
• When multiple urgent, unread wire stories are in the priority queue, a lightning
bolt icon appears along with the number of unread stories available (as shown
in previous graphic).
Double-clicking on this section will open the priority queue in a new workspace.
Right-clicking on this section will open the last 10 urgent stories in Alerts History
dialog box.
Also displays broadcast messages and technical warnings when received from
system administrators or the system itself.
Body Lock Appears empty unless the user has locked the body of the story, which is being
edited. When locked, the user’s ID appears next to the Body Lock icon.
Form Lock Appears empty unless the user has locked the story form. When locked, the user’s
ID appears (as shown at left).
Caps Lock Displays CAP when Caps Lock is activated on the keyboard. When not activated
this field appears blank.
Number Lock Displays NUM when the Number Lock is activated on the numerical keypad.
When not activated this field appears blank.
Overwrite Displays OVR when the word processing status is set to overwrite text as a user
types. When set to insert, this field on the status bar appears blank.
Mail/Message Displays an open envelope icon when the user receives new mail. If a new instant
message is received, then the section on the status bar displays an icon that looks
like a white sheet of paper. Both icons blink if the mail or messages are unread.
