Use controls in the Style window, Layer tab, to select Replace, specify a consecutive ID number,
and Name the layer. Note that the Style window sometimes appears as the Text or Rectangle
window, depending upon your most recent task and the layer selected.
• Replace allows the currently selected layer to accept external data.
• ID number indicates the order in which layers accept external data. Each layer with an assigned ID
number must have its own unique consecutive ID. Set the ID numbers in the order you want them to
appear in the DekoMOS Editor that opens with the DekoMOS Browser within the newsroom client
interface. If you do not specify layer ID numbers, Deko uses the layer orders as IDs. It places layer 1
text in the first replaceable layer it finds, layer 2 in the next, etc.
•The name you assign to the layer should identify the type of information or image required for the
reporter or producer. This name appears in the DekoMOS Browser in the newsroom client interface.
When you save the layer, give the template a name identifiable by DekoMOS users, for example
lower3 or 1line. You may also want to use a naming protocol to indicate clips or effects embedded
in graphics. such as 1line_x to indicate an effect or 1 line_c to indicate a clip.
