The selected production element classifies the production cue and sets the color of the production cue in a Broadcast story.

The story word count does not include production cue text.
8.When you select Anchor from the Element list, you can enter a short form for the production cue in the Short Text box.

You can assign the same hotkey to multiple production cues and MOS favorites to insert the assigned production cues and MOS favorites at the same time. When you assign multiple production cues or MOS favorites to a hotkey, use the Hotkey Order box to set the insertion order for the assigned items.
10.When using the key combination selected from the Hotkey list as a compound hotkey to add multiple production cues and MOS objects to a story, enter a number in the Hotkey Order box to set the addition order for the production cue. A hotkey adds items to a Broadcast story starting with the lowest Hotkey Order number and finishing with the highest number.
11.Use the Group list to select the production cure group for the new production cue. When you do not selected a group, Inception assigns the new production cue to the Global group. The production cues assigned to the Global group also assigned to all the other production cue groups on your Inception Server.
The Group list contains only the groups defined on your Inception Server. Groups enable you to organize your productions cues to match your workflow. A group contains the productions cues assigned to the group and the production cues assigned to the Global group.
