Overview of an iNEWS Workspace
The primary workspace is known as the iNEWS workspace, but workspaces for other plug-ins,
such as Avid Deko Select, may also be viewed in the iNEWS window. Users may also have
multiple iNEWS workspaces open simultaneously within the window.
The following image shows a typical iNEWS workspace with its three primary panels identified.
The iNEWS workspace’s panels display various information stored in the iNEWS database. The
three primary panels available in a workspace are:
Panels Description
Directory Displays the directory or file structure of the iNEWS newsroom computer
system on the Directory tab. Use it to navigate through the iNEWS database.
Projects are also displayed in this panel on the Projects tab. By default this panel
appears on the left side of the iNEWS workspace.
Queue Displays a list of the stories in a queue in a spreadsheet format. Stories are
added, deleted, moved, and ordered through this panel. By default this panel
appears on the top right side of the iNEWS workspace.
