Read-only Rundowns

Read-Only Rundowns are used in enterprises where a Master Rundown is sent via MOS from a folder on one ENPS Server to a Read-Only Rundown in another server or group.

A Read-Only Rundown will reflect the latest saved data from the Master Rundown, and users can drag and drop and copy and paste scripts from the Read-Only Rundown to their own folders and Rundowns but they cannot edit it directly.

Complete the following steps to configure a Master to Read-Only Rundown relationship between two ENPS Servers that share a Central Server:

1. Determine the Target Server where the Read-Only Rundown will appear, and the Host Server where the Master Rundown will be located.

2. Open System Maintenance > MOS Configuration.

3. In the Address column, enter the hostname (or MOS/NCSID if not the same as the hostname) of the Target Server (e.g., NY-ENPs-01).

4. In the Description column, enter a friendly name for the server (e.g., New York Primary).

5. In the IP Address column, enter the IP address of the Target Server.

6. Select the checkbox in the Story Send column.

7. In the Program column, use the drop-down menu to select the folder where you want the Read-Only Rundown to appear.

8. In the RO Limit column, enter the maximum number of Read-Only Rundowns that the system will allow.

9. Click the Save button to apply your changes.

10. Open News Object Manager (NOM).

11. Click Sync Now for both the Host Server and Target Server.

12. Restart the News Object Manager (NOM) on the Host Server and the Target Server.

13. Open the ENPS client and choose the rundown that will serve as the Master Rundown.

14. Select MOS Story Send on the Production Ribbon and check the entry for the Target Server from the menu.

Perform this step in the rundown template to make this a permanent part of the rundown's behavior:

• On the Production Ribbon, select the MOS Control Active button to MOS activate the Rundown and verify that the Read-Only Rundown has appeared in the correct folder on the Target Server.
