Understanding the Story Panel
The Story panel is the area of the workspace where you write and edit stories. Stories are either
scripted or unscripted. Unscripted stories do not contain production cues or machine control
instructions. A scripted story is a production version of the story that contains instructions for
broadcasting.
The Story panel can be divided into as many as three sub-panels, which display the various
information that is found within scripted and unscripted stories:
• Story Form - located across the top of the Story panel
• Story Text - located on the bottom (right side) of the Story panel.
• Instruction - located on the bottom (left side) of the Story panel.
The Story Text sub-panel is the only one that is always visible. Displaying either of the other two
is optional.
Sub-panel Description
Story Form The Story Form sub-panel contains fields for data that can also
appear in the rundown’s Queue panel, such as a script’s slug or story
title, Video ID, status, etc.
The system manager defines the content and layout of the form
fields, which can be text fields or drop-down lists of predefined
options. Some fields may also be read only. Although you can
change the appearance of some fields during a session, you cannot
save these changes.
