Creating a new work order and an initial job request
If the Xmedia Server does not contain an image or video clip asset that you require for your
template-based page, you can create a work order and job request. The work order’s job
issues a request to your graphic arts department to create an asset that fulfills your
prescribed specifications and then ingest it into the system.

Before creating a work order or job from Xnews, your Xmedia Server system must first be
configured to contain a work order workflow. You must also have the correct permission
settings in your user profile to allow you to create work orders and jobs. Contact your
system administrator for more information regarding your organization’s work order
workflow configuration.
Before creating a new work order, it is recommended that you verify that the image or clip
that you require does not already exist on the Xmedia Server.
To verify if an image or clip already exists:
1.
With the page open in Xnews, right-click the image or clip that is to be replaced.
Either the S

Browse through the categories within the window to see if any of the existing images
or clips meet your requirements.
• If so, select the asset and press OK. The image or clip will immediately be
brought into the page.
• If not, then proceed to creating a work order for your story or rundown, and
specify a particular job request for the required image or clip
