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 Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| ^topic | The topic or playlist name |
| ^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 | ^page = number of pages ^pagecount = current page |
| Â ^index | The current number of the item in the topic (ex: 2 of 10) |
| ^indextotal | Total number of items in current topic (ex: 2 of 10) |
| ^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.Â
|
| 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.  Â
MaxLineCount can be used with WordWrap enabled.  Use-Cases could be if you intend on using CSS Styles, where you would want to page, but having different styles, forces the wordWrap to activate before determining the Bounding Box height. In this case, adding a MaxLineCount will restrict the line limit. |
| ^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.name | The 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. |
