  • Go to iNEWS Directory, expand the SHOW section, expand your rundown Folder, and double-click on the RUNDOWN.
  • Create a Slug for your Story.
  • Select your Template Form and modify it if necessary.

MOS Object

  • As soon as you save the Template Form, the following changes occur, as shown in the image above:
    • The Drag Button gets activated.

  • Go to Tools and select the Monitor.
