Operation: Ticker
The ticker displays a rotating set of elements in a lower third view.
The ticker is designed to run independently of most of the other functions in this app. For this reason, the ticker does not update when the update button is clicked. Instead, you must update the ticker with the separate "Update Ticker" button. (If I didn't separate this out, the ticker would restart every time you hit Update).

-
Ordering Mode - Determines the item ordering. Defaults to Grouped.
- Grouped - Items are grouped based on their "Category Title". Items that have the same category title will be ordered by their "Order" value.
- Absolute - Items are only ordered based on the "Order" value. Ties are broken randomly.
