Accessing the iNEWS Database

The application uses different icons to distinguish between directories, queues, and stories.
Destinations in the iNEWS system directory selected for the Favorites list have a gold star on
their icons.
The following illustration shows an example of an iNEWS system directory with two directories
marked as favorite destinations.

While viewing the top level of an iNEWS system directory in the sidebar, the Back button displays
the word Launch, which means you can tap it to return to the previous view of the Launch pane.
However, the button’s name changes the further you navigate down the system directory.
Icon Description
Directories hold queues or other subdirectories. Unlike queues, directories do not directly
contain stories. For example, the Wires folder contains queues with incoming wire stories.
Queues let you organize stories in detailed categories. A show’s rundown is one example of
a queue.
Stories — for example, wire stories — contain text, such as contact information or a
description of a news event. Any story can become a script for a show. Scripts contain
additional data beyond text, including production cues, machine control instructions,
presenter instructions, and associated video sequences.
