Opening an iNEWS Workspace

A user can choose to view only one primary panel at a time or arrange the panels in one of four
different layouts. The layout options are defined in more detail in “Changing the Layout of
Panels” on page 39
.
Opening an iNEWS Workspace
Open a workspace when you want to view an area of the iNEWS database in a specific layout.
Users can open multiple workspaces within a single session of iNEWS.
To open a new workspace, using the default layout:
t Do one of the following:
- Click the New Workspace button on the Main toolbar to open a new workspace without
specifying a queue.
- Press Shift+Ctrl+N.
The workspace will open in the default layout without displaying a specific queue in the
Queue panel or any story in the Story panel. The iNEWS directory will appear in the
Directory panel so the user can then navigate to any folder and queue in the database.
To open a workspace to a specific queue:
1. Do one of the following:
t Click the Open Workspace button on the Main toolbar.
t Select Window > Open Workspace.
Story Displays the story’s text and any other pertinent information, such as production
cues. By default this panel appears on the bottom right side of the iNEWS
workspace. Of the three main panels that make up the iNEWS workspace, the
Story panel is unique because it may be divided into three sub-panels, which are
called: Story Form, Instruction, and Story Text. Of the three sub-panels, only the
Story Text sub-panel remains visible within the Story panel all of the time. A
user may hide the other two.
If a story is associated with a project or facet, the Story panel becomes tabulated
with two tabs: Story and Project, both of which are displayed side-by-side in this
panel when a user opens the story. The Story tab appears on top by default and
displays the body of the story as usual, including production cues and machine
instructions, if any. Users can click a story’s Project tab to view the projects and
facets with which that story is associated, along with related stories, if any. For
more information, see
“Associating Stories with Projects or Facets” on
page 117
