Refreshing a Queue
63
In iNEWS, you can open a queue in two ways:
• When you open a queue from the Directory panel, you must first open directories and
subdirectories where the queue resides.
• When you open a queue using the Go To menu, you type the path to the queue you want to
open rather than clicking in the Directory panel until you locate the queue.
To open a queue from the Directory panel:
1. In the Directory panel, double-click the directory containing the queue you want to open, or
click the plus (+) sign next to the directory to expand it.
A list of queues, and possibly subdirectories, appears.
2. Do one of the following:
t If the queue resides in a subdirectory, first double-click the subdirectory to expand it and
then double-click the queue to open it.
t If the queue resides in the directory you just opened, double-click the queue to open it.
To open a queue using the Go To menu:
1. Select Go To > Destination.
The Goto Queue or Folder dialog box opens.
2. In the Destination drop-down list, click the queue you want to open.
3. Click OK.
The queue and all the stories within it appear.
Refreshing a Queue
While you are working in a queue, other users may also be adding, deleting, renaming or
rearranging stories within the same queue. To see any changes that have been made to a queue by
others, you will need to refresh the queue periodically to update the information in it.
To refresh a queue:
t Choose Refresh from the View menu (or press F5).
