Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.6.5 - Manual (Page 17)

Overview of the Assignment List Plug-in
Producers use the Aurora Playout Assignment List Plug-in to create placeholders for
clips and to coordinate electronic news stories with rundown scripts.
The Assignment List Plug-in integrates with the ENPS, iNEWS, and Octopus newsroom
computer systems.
Overview of the Assignment List Manager
The Assignment List Manager comes in two forms: standalone and embedded into
the Aurora Edit application.
Producers (or other station personnel) use the standalone Assignment List Manager
to determine how many clips are missing for a given news show. Editors use the
embedded Assignment List Manager to receive assignments from the producer. Both
forms of the Assignment List Manager are used to create additional placeholders for
clips and to reassign placeholders to other categories.
The standalone Assignment List Manager runs on any computer on the network—an
icon in the task bar flashes red when items in the selected category or rundown are
missing.
