Option 1: Existing rundown
LineupNX 2.0 comes with several sample rundowns similar to this one for you to try.
![Page 41: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Option 2: Open template
LineupNX stores common elements for a recurring show in template files. Select File > Open Layout… to display a list of your templates.
LineupNX comes with a set of sample templates for you to start with. They may be modified or you may create your own from scratch.
A template is the base for a new rundown. From the menu we will select CBS Evening News
![Page 42: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Option 2: Open template
All items in the template are common for each edition of the show you produce. For example the name of the show, the running time, the number and times of commercial breaks, etc. Block boundaries are indicated in black.
To make this into a new rundown, select File > Save Format / Layout and then click “Save as a new rundown”
Next select the air day for the show from the drop down box and click OK
![Page 43: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Option 3: Create template
To create a new template or a standalone rundown, click on the New icon on the tool bar or select File > New Lineup or Layout.
This starts the process. First you set the basic show details such as the name, the regular On Air and running times. If you select to save as a layout, a new template is loaded into the rundown work area.
You can now add items to the template. Each block starts with a letter or number followed by 00. These are usually commercials or promo breaks.
![Page 44: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Adding to the rundown
When you build a rundown you add information as it is available. Reserve a slot for the item by assigning a position and a slug.
LineupNX will assign page numbers automatically
![Page 45: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Drop items from a rundown
The Desk (Editor) can drop items from a rundown at any time and hold them for later use.
Dropped items can always be recovered later. LineupNX keeps a clipboard of dropped items for each day of the week and for baggers, outlooks, personal rundowns or any folder in which you choose to store rundown information.
Dropping is not the same as deleting. A deleted item cannot be reinserted into a rundown. LineupNX provides a separate delete button on the toolbar
![Page 46: Demonstration © Baobab Productions 2011. Welcome. This presentation will introduce you to LineupNX 2 It is designed to show you many of the programs features](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55199ef5550346842d8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• You can recover any item that has been dropped from a lineup and insert it back into the lineup or into the lineup of another show. LineupNX keeps separate clipboards in each folder containing rundown information for dropped items. One for each day of the week and one each for outlooks, baggers, personal files and so on.
Recover dropped items

• Each item can have a set of detailed notes attached to it. This could be contact information, background material, event schedule details and so on.
• You can paste information from emails, from web-sites and other sources, even keep shot lists and field notes
• The first paragraph of the note attached to an item can also be used in the outlook for the show

Modifying show info
Sometimes it is necessary to change, on a one-time basis, running details about a particular edition of a show.
For example if a prior, live event runs late, the air time might change. The running time might also change.
By adjusting Show Details, LineupNX will recalculate back- and front-times and light/heavy status immediately.

Production assistants and Directors have a special set of displays to use when the show is on the air. They are like a sophisticated stopwatch, keeping track of the light/heavy status of the show, the time to the next event (key or super usually).
If the running order of the show changes while on the air (say during a commercial break), the reload button adjusts for the changes.
