Familiarizing yourself with the Xnews Interface
Creating and using Work Orders
While creating or editing a page, you may realize that the Xmedia Server does not contain
the specific image or video clip asset that you need for your story. In such a case, Xnews
allows you to create a work order, which is a set of requests directed at your graphics
department for the creation and addition of the required asset to the Xmedia Server. Each
request in the work order is known as a job. While creating the job request, you can insert
a placeholder on the page. Once the asset is ingested into the Xmedia Server and the job
is complete, the placeholder is automatically replaced by the new image/video and the page
is ready to go to air.
Xnews also allows you to view all of the work orders and jobs on your system through the
Asset Browser’s Work Orders and Jobs categories.
The following sections describe how to create and use work orders and jobs in the context
of the Xnews application:
•
“Creating a new work order and an initial job request” on page 3-24
• “Viewing existing work orders and/or jobs” on page 3-26
• “Adding a job to an existing work order” on page 3-28
• “Removing a work order or job from the XMS” on page 3-30
• “Fulfilling jobs using assets stored on the Xmedia Server” on page 3-30
• “Fulfilling jobs using images from the AP Graphics Bank” on page 3-31
