Open a dialog that allows you to search within the item.

To search for text, enter the search terms in the Find what box and press Enter. The ENPS Client will highlight the first term in the Story that matches your search string.

You can navigate among search results using the arrow buttons.

If you want your search results to match the case of your search terms, select the Match case checkbox: if the search term is "President," then the word "president" will not be included in your search results.

To replace the search terms with another word or phrase, type it in to the Replace with box. You can replace only the currently highlighted string by clicking Replace or all of the occurrences in the document by clicking Replace All.

Check the spelling in the document. In addition to launching the built-in spell checker, this button can also be used to launch a third-party spell checker if one has been installed by your site's System Administrator.

If you are using the built-in spell checker, click the down arrow to select any of the following options:

  • Check spelling as you type. This option will underline any repeated or misspelled words as you type them.

  • Ignore upper case, words with numbers. These options allow you to ignore capitalized words or words that contain numbers.

By default, ENPS sets the spellcheck language based on your input language, or the base language used on your workstation. If you need to add one or more other languages, you can do so by clicking on the Spellcheck button and selecting the desired languages from the drop-down menu.

If the event is in a Planning Grid, you can view prior versions of that event.

A version is stored every time a user modifies an event and saves the changes.

Publish

Publish an event or a Planning Item as a wire, internally or externally.

This feature is only available if your System Administrator has enabled it for your enterprise.

Messaging

Send the Planning Item as a message.

If one or more users have been assigned to the Planning Item in the Planning Grid's Reporter Assigned, Photographer Assigned, or similar columns, those users' names will automatically appear in the Send to: field of the new message.

See Send Item for more information.

Opens the Alert Settings window, allowing you to receive an alert when a Planning Item is edited.
