RunnerWWW
The RunnerWWW system is designed for presenting the running orders - those already emitted and those which are being under development (in their current state) through the Internet browsers. The data comes from many various instances of the Runner and/or RunPlanner. Thus the current data can be accessed as it is by for instance the management or other cooperating newsrooms.
The RunnerWWW system is installed on the HTTP server. The files generated with images of individual shows by the Runner or RunPlanner systems are delivered within the framework of a local net, or through the Strada system - to the interface folder. Those files are downloaded next and after processing they are recorded as a simple database. When the user wants to browse through the running orders of the news shows, the system makes them available using that base.
The user's access to the data is realized through the HTTP protocol. The Internet browser is used for browsing the information.
Only the authorized users have the right to browse through the running orders. The authorization itself is realized basing onf the information taken from the NDS system. There is a possibility to set the access to different newsrooms for various user groups of users with the distinction whether the access right are granted for browsing issues before or after the emission.
The front page of the presentation has three windows defined:
the window with the list of newsrooms and shows, | |
the window with the choice of the type of a presentation, | |
the window with presentation of the running orders. |
In the window with the list of newsrooms and shows the user indicates the newsroom within which he wants to browse the shows. After the newsroom is chosen, the list of shows prepared in this newsroom is presented. After selecting the suitable show, there is the name of the show displayed in the choice window and the running order appears in the separate window.
The user can browse through the running orders presented in different shapes:
table of contents, | |
shortened list, | |
the full list with texts. |
There is possibility of browsing through the current issues as well as issues from the previous days (the number of days for storing the running orders is determined by a parameter).
