slugbar for the floated story. WinCue will transparently prompt to the next item, skipping over any
floated stories.
Information Displayed on the WinCue Monitor
A yellow bar on the runorder indicates which story you are currently prompting, the 'prompt bar'.
A black bar on the runorder indicates which story you have 'selected'. This can be done by left
clicking on with the mouse; this black bar can be ignored.
A blue bar on the runorder indicates a story, which has been 'floated' and will not be prompted.
Double left-click on a story to view the text of the story, use the far-right scroll bar to view more of
the story.
The runorder word count column displays the number of words in a story. If there are no words in a
story its word count box will be colored
red
to indicate that it may be worth querying the booth why
there is no text in the story. It is only worthwhile querying a story if you believe that there should be
some text in the story.
The runorder status column displays information about the status of a story.
If a stories status box is colored
red
it indicates that the status information is relatively important
and may be worth querying.
The status messages and their meanings:
Updated - The story has been updated/re-downloaded since the original AvStar download.
The following message will appear in a
red
status box:
MISSING - The runorder item/slug has been downloaded from AvStar but the corresponding story
file has not been downloaded from AvStar. Likely cause: The story has not been downloaded yet,
or the story may not contain any text on AvStar.
Using WinCue to Select the Next Story to Prompt
If it is necessary to jump the prompt to a story that is not the next or previous story in the runorder
then you can use any of the following three methods.
1. Hold down the left 'Alt' key and double left-click on the story you want to start prompting.
