Usage Notes

Changes made from this menu are not persistent. Modifications made with the Quick Editor get deleted whenever the rundown is updated by the NRCS.

As Quick Edit story modifications, get deleted with every NRCS update, it is recommended to lock the rundown/story. See Locking a Rundown or Story.
When using a predefined template set from the NRCS, these are listed below the Remove button (after double-clicking a template).
Only templates from their own set are shown in the Quick Editor.

To Search for a Template Variant

The Quick Editor Search field helps you locate a specific template. The search tool is not case sensitive. Some tips:

A space between keywords acts as a logical AND, enabling multiple keywords.
For example:
- CAM VIDEO: Lists variants with both CAM and VIDEO in their name.
- CAM AUX 3: Lists variants with with all three namings CAM, AUX and 3.
A + sign between keywords acts as a logical OR, enabling multiple keywords.
For example:
- CAM+VIDEO: Lists variants that have CAM or VIDEO in their name.
- CAM+AUX+3: Lists variants with any of the namings CAM, AUX or 3.
Combination of space and + (+ sign has a lower priority).
For example:
- CAM+AUX 3: Lists variants that have CAM or AUX and 3 in the name.
- CAM AUDIO+AUX 3: Lists variants that have CAM and Audio or AUX and 3 in the name.
