The primary difference is in how they are organized.

By VTS: Lists the elements based on the VTS they belong to. A VTS can have only one

track (which can also have stories) or one slideshow, but it can have multiple menus
and scripts.

By Type: Lists the elements based on their type (menus, tracks, slideshows, and scripts).

See

Using the Outline Tab

for more information on using the By Type display.

Note: The Languages section in the By Type display does not represent actual elements—it
represents languages that can be used for the menus. It does not appear in the By VTS
display because it is not specific to a VTS.

Moving Elements from One VTS to Another

You can move elements from one VTS to another by dragging. This is most often done
to place scripts and menus in the same VTS blocks as the tracks or slideshows they most
closely relate to.

To move an element to a different VTS

µ

Select the element and drag it to the destination VTS block’s name.

As you drag the element, a black box surrounds the VTS name that it will be moved to
as you pass over it. Releasing the element places it in that VTS. The element has a “pin”
added to its icon to indicate it has been manually placed in that VTS.

Once you start dragging the element, all incompatible VTS blocks (containing pinned
incompatible menus) have their names struck through and yellow warning triangles
placed in front of them. If you move a menu into an incompatible VTS, a warning appears,
and the incompatible menus have a line through their names. See

About Pinning Elements

in the By VTS Display

for more information.

Important:

It is possible to manually move incompatible menus to the same VTS. The

project will not build, however.
