The story development process starts when you receive a story assignment. Assignments usually include a start date, end date, and due date to help ensure that the assigned story is ready to go on air later that day, week, month, or year. You can view the details of an assignment to keep track of the research gathered and stories planned for the assignment. As the due date for an assignment nears, Inception sends the assigned user a notification e-mail to remind your to complete the story before the assignment due date.
