Creating a New Bin

The Bin window is empty when you open NewsEdit for the first time. Before
you can begin using NewsEdit, you need to create bins to store your work. You
can create and organize your bins to suit your work style. For instance, you
could create a bin for each day of the week and within those set up a bin for each
individual story or for each editor.

To create a new bin:

1. Click the

New Bin

button on the Bin toolbar.

The Bin Properties window appears:

2. Enter the bin Name.

3. Enter a bin Description.

4. Enter bin Keywords if you want to.

You can use the keywords to search for a specific bin.

5. Click

Browse

and select a location for the Bin, if different than the default.

6. Click

OK

.

If you want to create a SmartBin, see “Setting Up a SmartBin” on page 43.
