When the operator right-clicks on the play-list tab name, a contextual menu is
displayed:
Selecting this option opens a dialogue box asking for confirmation of the removal,
which when confirmed will remove the tab from the play-list zone

This item is greyed and therefore not accessible if the play-list has an
on-air status (the on-air button has been selected on the tab, for a
description of the functionality of the on-air button, see later in this

When a tab is first opened it will be dimmed and only the name will be displayed.
A play-list in this state is “Idle”: although clips can be added to the play-list, it is
not loaded to a channel of XT. It can therefore not be viewed or replayed but
elements can be added and re-ordered.
