Buttons, fields, and controls
| Control | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Rundown tabs | Switches between available rundowns. | Use to follow the correct show. |
| Home | Returns to dashboard. | Use when leaving Rundown Viewer. |
| Shortcut modal | Opens keyboard and Stream Deck editor. | Use to configure control surfaces. |
| Writing Panel | Shows rundown writing content. | Use for editorial review. |
| Edit Input/Video/Scene/Function modals | Allows item-level inspection and editing. | Use when checking production metadata. |
Best practices
- Use Rundown Viewer for roles that do not need to browse and add elements constantly.
- Keep Director as the primary build/control surface when changing rundown structure.
- Use the same shortcut conventions as Director to avoid operator confusion.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Rundown list is empty | Playlist data has not loaded. | Check Play Server status and reload. |
| Shortcut modal is hidden | Current view or role may not expose it. | Use Director for full shortcut setup. |
