Create and Manage Assignments
The assignment is the main organizing component for the story-centric workflow. An assignment might represent a short term task — for example, a story for a 5:00 PM broadcast — or a long term project.
An assignment can contain the following:
• A title for the assignment
• Notes added by contributors
• Options to create outputs — Web or social media sites (using Media Distribute or the Social Media Hub), and broadcast locations in an iNEWS rundown.
• A destination, such as an iNEWS queue
• A list of categories, topics, and tags
• Areas to add resources (for example, additional journalists or graphic artists) and elements (for example, video clips) for the assignment
The Assignments pane provides users a view that lets them see which tasks have been assigned to them and what resources are needed and available. It also allows MediaCentral UX producers and administrators to initiate the assignment workflow, and for users to begin work quickly.
You can also filter assignments in two ways: based on assigned dates, users, resources, and topics
• You can filter for text that is included in the Title, Notes, Category, Topics, and Tag fields.
• You can use he filter menus and controls to filter for your assignments, date ranges, assigned users, resources, and rundowns.
