6.4 THE PLAY-LIST ZONE
The Play-List zone has a tab structure allowing the operator to create as many
play-list tabs as required. There is one default tab labelled “New” to permit the
addition of play-list tabs.

To create a tab to enable a play-list to be built and edited, select the NEW tab in
the Play-List zone and then drag the desired play-list from the list view in the tree
display area onto the NEW tab. A tab will appear and open in the Play-List zone
and will show the name of the play-list on the tab

When the operator right-clicks on the play-list tab name, a contextual menu is
displayed:
Selecting this option opens a dialogue box asking for confirmation of the removal,
which when confirmed will remove the tab from the play-list zone
Note
This item is greyed and therefore not accessible if the play-list has an
on-air status (the on-air button has been selected on the tab, for a
description of the functionality of the on-air button, see later in this
section).

When a tab is first opened it will be dimmed and only the name will be displayed.
A play-list in this state is “Idle”: although clips can be added to the play-list, it is
not loaded to a channel of XT. It can therefore not be viewed or replayed but
elements can be added and re-ordered.
