Calling Rundown Items
The example in the image above shows that we have one Form Template, three Buttons, and the following variables: Reality String, Reality Boolean, and Reality Integer in the Playout module. This setup is created via the Form Builder module.
Assigning Conditions
- A Button must be assigned with its ID Number.
- A Boolean & Text/String must be assigned with its Key Name.
Key Name can be found in the Field Settings of the Component, as shown in the images above.
Trigger a function:
B\UP\<RundownId>_<RundownItemId>\button$<ButtonKey>§1\\<CR><LF>
Update a field's value:
B\UP\<RundownId>_<RundownItemId>\<FieldType>$<FieldKey>§<FieldValue>\\<CR><LF>
Query a rundown item for updatable fields & triggerable functions:
B\AN\<RundownId>_<RundownItemId>\\<CR><LF>
Query specific field and get its current value:
B\AV\<RundownId>_<RundownItemId>\<FieldKey>\\<CR><LF>
You can use the above examples in other CII operations.
