Tour of the Assignment List Plug-In
You use your NCS to create rundowns for news shows and add scripts for each
story. The NewsQ Pro Assignment List Plug-in integrates with both ENPS and
iNews and allows you to create placeholders for clips, assign those
placeholders to newsroom editors, and link the resulting clips back to your NCS
rundown.
