Briefs in admation 

Custom briefs are one way to kick off projects in admation. Chat to your customer success manager about creating a custom brief for your company in the system. Once your brief has been set up in the system, admin users have limited access to make changes to the briefs. These changes include: 

• Updating the name of the brief on the brief menu
• Marking the brief as Active or Inactive to show or hide it from the + Online Brief section
• Changing between a submission brief, collaborative brief or auto-project brief
• Updating the briefing form from a saved template (not recommended)
• Making it a requirement to add at least one deliverable when you're using the deliverable management component – only available if your settings for deliverable management are set to 'Yes'
