3.1.10 Using 'Panic Mode' if AP NewsCentre stops working:
WinCue has a 'Panic Mode' option that allows AP NewsCentre Runorders and stories to be
manipulated from WinCue if the AP NewsCentre system stops working for any reason such
as a network failure.
IMPORTANT: The 'Panic Mode' feature should only be used as a last resort.
If 'Panic Mode' is enabled the WinCue terminal will stop trying to read updates from AP
NewsCentre, as soon as 'Panic Mode' is disabled the WinCue terminal will re-start trying to
read updates from AP NewsCentre.
NOTE: Any changes to the runorder and stories on WinCue while in 'Panic Mode' will
be lost as soon as 'Panic Mode' is disabled.
3.1.11 Enabling/Disabling 'Panic Mode':
Left-click on the 'Panic Mode' icon on the tool bar at the top of the screen to toggle 'Panic
Mode'. When the button is shown as pressed in 'Panic Mode' is enabled, otherwise it is
disabled:
