Overview of the Assignment List Manager

Producers (or other station personnel) use the standalone Assignment List Manager to determine how many clips are missing for a given news show. Editors use the embedded Assignment List Manager to receive assignments from the producer. Both forms of the Assignment List Manager are used to create additional placeholders for clips and to reassign placeholders to other categories.

The standalone Assignment List Manager runs on any computer on the network—an icon in the task bar flashes red when items in the selected category or rundown are missing.
