NewsTicker User Guide

47Here, I named it “Sports Heads” and opted to only show headlines fromthe “Sports” category. The categories displayed here are the ones Iconfigured in the Headlines modules.TIPTo temporarily skip over amodule, set its LOGIC fileto an empty field (the firstoption in the list). It stillappears in the Edit Loopscreen, but won’t be sentto air.At this point, I have created my data loop and assigned LOGIC files anda filter to Headlines. It will air my professional games first, then myhigh school games, and finally show any content in the Sports categorywithin the Headlines module.The last thing to set is the Initialization file. This is a special LOGIC filethat is executed once at the very beginning of the loop. It also typicallycontains instructions for what to do when the display is paused,resumed, or stopped. For example, it may start by performing a DVE.When paused, it may contain instructions for moving the video back tofullscreen.Using an Initialization file is optional, although it is rare not to use one.One final setting is module Alias which is typically used in displays withtabs showing which content categories are coming up next. Without anAlias, the tab would show the module name. By setting an Alias, youcan be more specific, such as “Business” or “NFL”.
