Loading Large Queues
When you load a queue that includes a large number of items, the Rundown app displays a progress bar at the top of the queue that provides you with visual feedback and additional information.
As illustrated here, the progress bar includes:
• Percentage: Indicates how much of the queue has been loaded.
• Story Count: Displays the number of stories that have been loaded into the app and the number of remaining stories.
• Pause button
As the queue loads, access to the Rundown app is restricted. However, the Pause button allows you to interrupt the queue loading process. When you click Pause, the loading process stops and the Rundown app toolbar displays the number of stories that are currently loaded into memory. This allows you to access stories that appear earlier in the rundown, without waiting for the entire queue to load.
If a user adds or removes a story to a section of the rundown that is not already loaded, the paused story counter is not updated to reflect the new total story count.
After you pause the loading process, you can continue to load the remaining items by clicking on the Resume button at the far right side of the Rundown app toolbar. When the app loads the entire queue, the progress bar and / or the story count and Resume button are removed from the user interface.
