Configuring iNEWS Servers
55
You must assign a queue form and a story form. The queue form
determines the look of the queue. The story form determines how an
event request is displayed when you double-click it.
For instance, to assign the standard composite list queue form to the
SHOWS.6PM.COMPOSITE
queue, select
mcs-composite
from
the Queue drop-down list in the Queue Properties dialog box. To
assign a story form to this composite list, select
mcs-composite
from the Story drop-down list in the Queue Properties dialog box.

The forms will only appear in the drop-down lists if they exist in the
database. For information about how to create your own forms or modify
existing forms, and about database traits, see the iNEWS Newsroom
Computer System Operations Manual .
Step 6: Create an Entry in the SYSTEM.MAP Story
The
map story
is a standard iNEWS database story and is always the first
story in the
SYSTEM.MAP
queue. It can be opened and edited like any
other iNEWS database story; however, access to it is typically limited to
system administrators who already have access to the System directory.
When you create a show’s map story entry, you will usually specify that
monitor server create and maintain event and composite lists when
someone monitors the show.
n
On a small system, the work required to update composite and event lists
could affect overall system performance. In these cases, specify in the
show’s
SYSTEM.MAP
story entry that monitor server should not create
composite and event lists, or that it create one and not the other.
After creating the show’s monitor server, add an entry for the show to your
system’s map story. This entry specifies to the show’s monitor server the
location of the show’s rundown queue, and composite and event lists.
Without this information, the monitor server will not create lists.
The map story entry also specifies the list of groups that can monitor a
queue, and when the monitor server turns itself off.
