    Hello Everyone,

    I am looking for advice on how to create the best workflow for a "live rundown" graphic we will be running in our show for 2hours.
    We already run this graphic for a portion of our show that's manageable enough to do alone.

    I'm being asked to have this graphic on air for 2 hours which means that I'll probably need producers to put it together in iNews or Excel?
    Do you guys have any advice on how to make this semi-automated? The graphic contains slots for the NOW/NEXT/LATER segments.
    I'm trying to figure out how to either automate it or figure out the best workflow for when producers float/move stories.

    Any suggestions or

    Unfortunately the best way to do this right now is to use Datalinq and have someone update the Data Source with the upcoming stories manually. We have experimented with ways of getting the story list out of Inews but it's not something that works yet. Right now you're stuck with updating a Datalinq source manually with the story names to match up with the story order in Inews. A pain but really the only way to do this right now.

    Is there any way to do this working with ENPS?

    To date I've only seen anyone try this with Inews. You need an API application that connects to ENPS/INEWS and pulls out the story name in the rundown (in order and with live updates) and writes it to a file the CG can read from.
