Creating and using rundowns and segments
Configuring the segment table columns
The segment table’s columns display information about each page included in the rundown
segment. Using the T
OOLS >C ONFIGURE P LAYLIST C OLUMNS command, you can determine
which columns are displayed or hidden in the segment table. You can also determine the
order in which the columns appear in the table.
Since the instructions for configuring the segment table’s columns are identical to those for
the playlist columns, please refer to
“Configuring the Playlist table columns” on page 6-11 .
Adding pages to a rundown segment
The method that you will use to add a page to a rundown segment will depend upon whether
you want the page to be embedded or shared.
The following sections provide instructions for adding embedded pages, shared pages, and
the pages of a playlist to a rundown segment:
•
“Adding an embedded page to a rundown segment” on page 7-11
• “Adding a shared page to a rundown segment” on page 7-12
• “Adding the pages of a playlist to a rundown segment” on page 7-13
N OTE
Do not use the F ILE >I NSERT S EGMENT or F ILE >A PPEND S EGMENT commands to add the
pages contained in one segment to another segment, as this creates a playlist segment in
the receiving segment. The obstacle is that rundown segments that contain playlist
segments cannot be added to rundowns.
Adding an embedded page to a rundown segment
The following instructions describe the two (2) ways that you can add an embedded page
to a rundown segment.
To add an embedded page to a rundown segment using the Insert New Page button:
1.
With the segment open in either the Segment Editor or the Segment Window, select
the I
NSERT N EW P AGE button in the Segment’s toolbar.
The S ELECT A TEMPLATE FOR THE NEW GRAPHIC dialog box appears.
2. Navigate and select the template that you would like to the new page to be based upon,
then click OK.
The template opens in Xbuilder’s Template Editor.
3. Make the appropriate edits to the template’s variable fields, then click the I NSERT IN
P LAYLIST AND C LOSE button in the Template Editor’s toolbar.
The template is added to the segment editor/window as an embedded page.
N OTE
To save the new embedded page as a shared page, select the page in the Segment
Editor/window and click either the S
AVE C URRENT S EGMENT A S button or the
F ILE >S AVE S EGMENT A S command (see “Saving a rundown segment” on page 7-17 ).
