Chapter 8 Working With Playlists

List View Context
Menu

Options– Opens the Options dialog box which allows you to select the
asset list view (e.g. Text or Image view), and choose the list monitoring
information displayed in the Playlist application and the Monitor pane.

.

Insert Event– Opens the Insert Event dialog box which allows you to
insert all event types.

.

Add Section– Adds a section to the end of the list. Once you add the

.

New List– Opens the New List dialog box where you can choose the
current bin and specify the new list name before creating it. When a
new list is created, the current list is ejected and the new list is created
containing one section and no events. The default new list name is
generated from a seed name and incremented, e.g. if the seed name is
List, new list names would be List_1, List_2, etc. Renaming a list
creates a new seed name, i.e. renaming ‘List_1’ to ‘Promo’ causes the
next list created to be named Promo_1.
