The SYSTEM.MOS-MAP story may also be used to set up whether times
related to MOS items are displayed in the Queue panel (rundown) or Story
Form panel. It may be configured for all MOS devices or on an individual
basis.
For sites that do not want MOS item information displayed—in the RUNS-
TIME or MOS-DURATION fields—the system administrator must edit
the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP story.
To block the display of time information from all MOS devices:
t Add the following line to the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP story in iNEWS:
ReplaceTime=NO
n
The line should precede the start of the DeviceTable in the story. If the
ReplaceTime value is set to NO, it will apply to all devices listed within
the DeviceTable.
To exclude time information from a single device, while allowing the
display of similar input for other devices:
1. In the SYSTEM.MOS-MAP story, set the ReplaceTime value to
YES.
2. Append <noDur> to the line associated with the single device,
located within the DeviceTable.
c
The <noDur> tag must not be used at sites with workstations running
a version of iNEWS earlier than 1.5.1. Earlier versions of iNEWS do
not recognize the tag as a command to suppress the display of
duration information, but identify it as a channel for the MOS device,
whether the device uses channels. Users on iNEWS Workstations
running versions earlier than 1.5.1 may see <noDur> appear in the
channel list when loading the monitor server.
