About Rundowns
The rundown area displays the open rundowns and their status, a list of available
rundowns, server status, and control buttons.
You can open up to five rundowns at once; all open rundowns merge into a composite
playlist, allowing seamless control of back-to-back rundowns.
Clicking Date toggles a calendar which lets you filter the display of rundowns to a
specific date.
Selecting a rundown from the rundowns list selects all clips in that rundown in the
playlist area.
Function Icon
