iNEWS Navigation Made Easy
31
Using the Go To Menu
The Go To menu allows you to quickly move through the system and access any user-specified
queue via the Destination command. It also provides quick access to the priority queue, which is
where the urgent news wires are located; by using this menu, you can either open the priority
queue to view all urgent wires or view a truncated list (last 10 urgent wire stories) in the Alerts
History dialog box.
n
When in the Queue panel, you can use the Go To > Time command to navigate to the next story
in the queue based on how old the story is.
To access the priority queue:
t Select Go To > Priority Queue.
n
The priority queue of urgent wire stories is also available via the Urgent button on the Main
toolbar.
To open the Alerts History dialog box:
t Select Go To > Alerts History.
Using the Destination Command
The Destination command takes you directly to a specified queue or folder.
To use the Destination command:
1. Select Go To > Destination.
The Go to Queue or Folder dialog box opens.
2. Specify the pathname of the queue or folder you want to open in the Destination text box.
You may not have to type the entire pathname; as you type, the iNEWS system’s
auto-complete feature will check the database and fill in the field as soon as a match is
found.
3. Click OK.
The dialog box will close and the specified queue or directory will open.
