The Planner Panel
The Planner panel allows you to find and access any topic or assignment that has been created on your local MediaCentral Cloud UX system. If you are working in a multi-site environment, the Collaborate app displays the local data only, and not that of any remote site. You can double-click on any topic or assignment in the Planner to begin working with it.
The Planner is divided into two areas:
Refreshing the Display
You can click the Refresh button in the upper-left corner of the Planner Explorer to update your display. This button refreshes the display of both the Planner sidebar and the Explorer. Alternatively, the app updates automatically when you switch from one area to another — such as switching between an individual assignment and the main Planner panel.
If the system detects a change that is not currently displayed, the Refresh button turns blue to remind you that you need to refresh the user interface to see the latest updates. For example a manual refresh might be required when duplicating an assignment, dragging an assignment to a new topic, or others. The button might also turn blue if another user takes an action that requires you to update your display, such as when another user changes the name of a task that you are viewing.
Depending on your sequence of actions, it is possible for the Refresh button to turn blue even if there is no update.
Using the Search Functionality
The Planner Sidebar and Explorer include a “search” bar that allow you to either Find a Topic or Find an Assignment. You can use this feature to quickly sort the list by displaying only those assets that include your search term or phrase.
When using these features, you should note that similar to a web-based search engine, some “stop” words such as the, a, to, and others are ignored. If for example you search for an assignment that was titled “To be, or not to be”, your search is likely to return zero results because the entire title is comprised of all stop words. Avid always recommends that you create assets with short, but descriptive titles.
