Buttons of the User Interface

From the navigation drawer, you can open the Directory panel to navigate through the directory
structure and open assets. After opening assets, you can view the navigation drawer at any time
by swiping your finger across the screen to the right or by tapping the Up button.
You can tap the Action overflow button and select Reload to update the queues and stories
displayed in the iNEWS database. This allows you to view any changes made to stories or any
new iNEWS assets.
Buttons of the User Interface
The MediaCentral mobile application provides buttons in the user interface that allow you to
access the features of the app. The following table describes the buttons and their uses.
Button Description
The Up button lets users return to the navigation drawer when browsing the iNEWS database.
It also lets users show the navigation drawer when a queue or story is open.
The Edit Story button enables editing of an opened story by displaying the Edit toolbar and a
virtual keyboard.
