Familiarizing yourself with the Xnews Interface
Using the Asset Browser in Xnews
The Asset Browser (figure 3-8 ) is a collapsible panel on the left-side of the Xnews interface
that allows you to view and access the pages, templates, and clips that are stored on the
Xmedia Server. As well, the Asset Browser allows you to access the Work Orders and Jobs
that are also stored on the Xmedia Server (see
page 3-26 ).
The Asset Browser organizes pages, templates, and clips in a tree structure of root
categories and subcategories, which can be navigated by expanding or collapsing the
category. Note that you can create new subcategories, but the root categories are
permanent and subcategories cannot be deleted in Xnews. When a category is selected,
the pages, templates, or clips of the category are listed/previewed in the Asset Gallery (to
the right of the Asset Browser).

In addition to accessing the contents of the Xmedia Server, the Asset Gallery has a context
menu that features a series of commands that are used to perform various tasks using the
selected asset category.

and organize the pages and templates stored on the Xmedia Server:
•
“Opening/hiding the Asset Browser panel” on page 3-9
• “Refreshing a category” on page 3-9
