Creating Rundowns with ENPS

Before using NewsQ Pro Assignment List Plug-in, you need to create a
rundown using ENPS as you normally would. See the ENPS documentation for
specific instructions.

Creating Placeholders

You need to create a placeholder for each news clip that you are linking to a
rundown. Placeholders generate assignments for editors, who can then create
news clips for the story and send them to a Profile Video Server for playback.
Placeholders let you see if clips are complete and ready for air or not.

If you are not using a newsroom computer system, you use the Assignment List
Manager instead of the Assignment List Plug-in to create placeholders. Both
components have the same purpose — to create placeholders and assign them
to editors. Chapter 3, “The Editor’s Role,” describes the Assignment List
Manager.

To create a new placeholder:
