For templates you use for recurring shows, it is possible to enable the MOS Control Active flag in the Templates.

MOS objects and clips included in the Rundown will automatically build playlists in the Media Object Servers, without requiring a Producer to remember to set the flag ON. Refer to Breaking the MOS Link for more information. |
|
Before the Media Object Server playlist can be executed on-air the Producer may need to set the MOS Ready to Air flag. The exact behavior of this switch depends on the configuration used by your MOS vendor. This setting reflects the Producer's approval to signal the Media Object Sever to air the contents of the Rundown, such as the audio, video and still store. |
|
Select a device to receive MOS Story Send messages. Your System Administrator can help you with this. You can optionally select a time to start sending MOS Story Send messages to the device by entering a time in the box.

|
Add/remove a lock that will prevent changes to any stories in the Rundown. |
|
