Sending Messages
MediaCentral UX provides you with two messaging features for communicating with other users working on iNEWS and MediaCentral UX. You can use the Messages pane to send messages and media assets to other MediaCentral UX users and to Avid editing applications connected to MediaCentral UX. For information on using the Messages pane, see
Sharing MediaCentral | UX Messages.
You can also use the Message bar at the top of the application to send messages, reply to messages, or view messages received during your current session.
A message can be composed of a maximum of 70 characters on a single line, and can be sent to only one other person.
Access to an iNEWS system is required for the messaging feature to work. Messages can be sent only to a user with an iNEWS account.
To send a message:
1. Click the To: field of the Message bar, and select the user to whom you want to send a message.
All iNEWS user accounts are shown in the list. Colored dots appear next to names in the list to indicate which users are available to receive messages through MediaCentral UX. A green dot indicates a signed-in user, and a red dot indicates users who are not signed in.
2. Click the Enter Message Text field and type your message.
3. Click Send.
After the message is sent, the bar turns pale blue.
