Reposition Stories in the Running Order

Repositioning stories in and Inception running is as easy as dragging a story to an new location and dropping it in the running order.

To change the order of stories in the running order

1.      In the Running Order panel, place the mouse pointer or you finger over any cell but the Icon cell of the story to reposition.

Selecting a story by the Icon cell copies the story. To reposition a story in the running order, do not use the Icon cell to select the story.

2.      Click and hold or tap and hold on the story to reposition.

3.      Drag the selected story to new position in the running order.

As you drag the story in the running order, a blue line previews the new position for the selected story.

4.      When the blue line highlights the position in the running order to place the story, release the mouse button or lift your finger.

The Running Order panel updates to show the selected story at the selected location.

The following restrictions apply when you drag a story within the running order:

•    You cannot move stories imported from an NCS. The order of imported stories is controlled by the NCS rundown.

•    If you move a parent story, its child stories move with it. If you move a child story, you break the original parent-child relationship, and the story becomes a child of the nearest non-child story above it in the running order.
