Understanding Classes and Flags

Classes

Entries can be organized into various classes. This allows not only news entries to be managed but also a range of audio and other events.

These classes are available (if allowed in the current table):

The column Flag shows special properties of entries. Some are set manually, others automatically:

Icon	Flag	Description
	Delete protected	When trying to delete any entry with this flag, there will be an explicit warning that needs to be confirmed. After that however, it is possible to remove this entry from the table. In BCS: node is locked
	For archive	A flag set by the editor or user to indicate that the entry can be archived and is set via the relevant option in the entry dialog box. The entry is not actually activated simply by setting this flag. However, after the entry has been archived, the color of the flag will change to green to indicate the entry can be deleted now. When the entry is archived, one of these two flags is displayed:
	Archiving	This entry is currently archived
	Archived	This entry is archived
	For dearchive	For dearchive.
	VSAT	Daten werden per Satelit verbreitet. Entries which were received via VSat (used by ARD, public radio stations in Germany)
	Personal	Indicates that this entry is a personal entry of a specific user. The OK button to save changes is hidden, therefore such entries cannot be changed by another user.
	Private entry	Invisible to other user. This flag is like the normal personal but such entries cannot be opened by other users.
	Loop	Endless play
	Ready to send	This flag indicates this entry is ready to be broadcasted. With the corresponding configuration only entries with this flag can be placed into a broadcast schedule module. If a user wants to delete such an entry, a warning message appears that has to be confirmed to actually execute the deletion.
	Perfect	Usually the ready flag has a stronger meaning than this flag, but customer can use and name the flag as they want. The second level of transmission readiness: this flag can only be set by an authorized person and indicates that the entry is now completely ready for transmission.
	Text	This flag is automatically shown when a text file is attached to the entry (that can be viewed in the Presentation tab)
	Royalties	Royalties, e.g. for Gema. When using this item for playout, fees need to be paid. This flag is only for selection and export purposes, there is no further utilization of this flag within DigaSystem
	Error	Indicates that the entry is impaired in some way.
	New	Flag for newly copied entries (by a replication process).
	LoRes exists	There is no icon for Hires. A HiRes copy of the item already exists on the video (Profile) Server.
