Global Tags

The Global Tags should work will all of the data types

For additional records, tags should be labeled as such: ^topic[1], ^topic[2]

[0] = 1st record [1] = 2nd record [2] = 3rd record etc...

Chameleon TagDescription

^topic [#]Name of future item in rundown (ex: current ^topic + (^topic[1] = League) + (^topic[2] = Financials) + (^topic[3] = Weather))
^topic."tagname"Dynamic tag for topics that have dynamic tag support (alerts, custom, stories, scores).
^page and ^pagecount

^displayIndex

The current number of the item in the topic based on the Rundown Display settings. (supported in Player version 3.0.301 or later)

^displayIndexTotal

Total number of items in current topic based on the Rundown Display settings. (supported in Player version 3.0.301 or later)

wordwrap (xpression only)

If word wrap is enabled, the ticker player will look at the line count to determine how many rows of text to display per paging.   If you want 3 rows of text, just enter dummy text to support it. 


maxlinecount

If a text object requires a carriage return, but also needs to autosqueeze, you will want to use maxlinecount.  This will allow the player to read carriage returns and pull two rows of text.    Wordwrap must be disabled. 

^show.name

The current show name. (supported in Player version 3.0.301 or later)

^show.rundown.name

The current rundown name. (supported in Player version 3.0.301 or later).

^channel.nameThe name of the channel associated with the ticker player
^channel.[dynamictag]

Dynamic tag associated with the channel.

Example: ^channel.offset

If you want your scene to read 4 new results but hide 1 at a time.
^rundownGroup

used to give the Content Type a name.  Unlike ^topic which uses the indexed topics of each content type... RundownGroup is a broadcast name related to the content type in the rundown and can be used as part of the train.   Empty RundownGroup names will be excluded from the ticker tag.
