Using Associated Sequences
The NRCS tool lets you locate sequences associated with NRCS stories or, conversely, to locate
stories from their associated sequences. This makes it easier to find stories on your iNEWS or
ENPS server (for example, when the tape ID is unknown) or to load sequences for NRCS scripts
directly into the Timeline.
n
(iNEWS) Only sequences created with the NRCS tool and which have valid identifiers in the
NrcsID bin column can be associated with a story.
(ENPS) The associated sequence is located by the information in the Tape ID text box.
To locate a sequence associated with a story:
1. From the Directory panel, load a story into the Story panel.
2. Click the Find Sequence button.
The NRCS tool loads the sequence into the Timeline, opening the bin holding the sequence,
if necessary.
To locate a story associated with a sequence:
1. Select a sequence in an open bin.
2. Click the sequence and drag it to the Story Name text box in the NRCS tool.
The tool loads the story into the Story panel.
Saving Changes to a Story (iNEWS Only)
After you edit a story, you can save the modified story. Keep in mind, though, that when you save
a story in the NRCS tool, the action actually saves the story on the iNEWS server. Therefore, use
caution when saving a story because your changes might affect others using the same story.
Changes cannot be saved to the ENPS server.
If more than one person accesses a story at the same time, the NRCS tool only saves changes
made by the first person to save the story.
n
Your iNEWS user permissions define whether you can save changes to a story. If you are unsure
of your permissions, consult your system administrator.
To save changes, do the following:
t In Edit mode, click the Save button.
The system saves the story and updates the story on the iNEWS server.
