Release Overview
The focus of this release was to further improve the user experience throughout the system. We also introduced a new view for the In Progress list view and on-demand reporting.
Improvements
-
AD-1258 In Progress List > Lane Board
There is a new way to view the In Progress list. It's called the Lane view.
Each lane, or column, represents a week. Within each lane, you see jobs that have their Supply Deadlines falling within that given week. Here is a short video to explain how this works:
-
AD-1281 In Progress List > List of View Options > Replace drop downs with icons
In the In Progress List, you can change the style of the list by switching View. This was once presented as a drop down list of views, but is now a set of icons you click.
-
AD-1158 On Demand Reporting
NOTE: Reports are configured on a per person basis. Please talk to your admation liaison if you would like to know more.
If you are set up to receive scheduled reports, you are now able to run these custom reports on demand. To access your custom reports, go to the Reporting menu and select the Reports option. This will show you all of your available reports, which you can then run as needed.
-
AD-1263 Conditional Approval > Change icon and colour in the Approval Status bar
NOTE: Conditional Approval is a configurable option. Please talk to your admation liaison if you would like to know more.
If someone gives conditional approval on an item, the system used to treat it as a Change Request, and used red colouring and icons to represent this. Now the colour of the icon has changed to yellow, as has the portion of the Approval Status bar representing a job.
-
AD-1294 Asset Library > Direct Upload Asset > Set a default name for the asset project
When adding an asset to your Asset Library, you are asked if you would like to have these items approved or if they are Direct Upload assets. In the event that you use the Direct Upload option, we now default the Project Name to the current date, followed by your name (eg . 20 Jun 2017: Larry Kendall) which you can then edit, if required.
-
AD-1295 Asset Library > Direct Upload Asset > Set the Advertiser where possible
When adding an asset to your Asset Library, you are asked if you would like to have these items approved or if they are Direct Upload assets. In the event that you use the Direct Upload option and are a user from an advertiser, we now set the Advertiser of the asset automatically. -
AD-1300 Ad Storage & Asset Library List > Select multiple criteria
When searching the Ad Storage or Asset Library lists, you can now select multiple Asset Types or Tags to search on at one time. The search works using an "OR" logic. For example:- Assume you have 10 jobs that use the "Poster" asset type and 5 jobs that use the "TV" asset type
- If you select to search only on the "Poster" type, you will find 10 jobs
- If you select to search on "Poster" OR "TV", you will find 15 jobs
- Assume you have 10 jobs that use the "Poster" asset type and 5 jobs that use the "TV" asset type
-
AD-1277 User Permissions > Ad Storage administrative access
As part of the user permissions that can be set up in admation, we can now allow specific users to access the original project details (including all approval responses, documents and audit trail etc) of any asset in the Ad Storage list.NOTE: If you would like to adjust the permissions available to your users, please contact your admation liaison for more information.
AD-399 Full Screen Approval View > Download a copy of my annotations
We have added a button on the Approval Info tab within the Full Screen Approval view. This button allows you to download your own annotated feedback as well as the annotated feedback from other respondents of the approval request.AD-1237 Full Screen Approval View > Click to zoom
Previously if you wanted to zoom in on your artwork, you would need to select the Zoom tool and then draw a box on screen to represent the area you wanted to zoom in on. Now the system will zoom as soon as you click the Zoom tool.
-
AD-1262 Online Forms > Create Deliverables from a brief
NOTE: Online forms being available from the Dashboard is a configurable option. Please talk to your admation liaison if you would like to know more.
When filling in an Online Form from the dashboard, we can now add Deliverables from within the form. When the form is submitted to be turned into a project, the deliverables will also be created. Watch this video to see how it works:
-
AD-1253 Excel WIP Report > Add more fields
We have added the following columns to the Excel WIP Report:- Other Organisations – shows the names of all organisations involved in this job other than the Advertiser
- Advertiser Owner – the key point of contact on the Advertiser side
- Other Owners – the key points of contact from other organisations also involved in this job
- Key Dates – each custom Key Date added to the job will appear in its own column
Resource Management
These items are only relevant to the organisations that use our Resource Management module.
-
AD-1303 Department Manager View > Set default view to a 1 week Gantt with all resources expanded
When logged in as a Department Manager, we have changed the default view of the Timeline so that you are shown the Gantt view of all tasks for all users in your department/s for that week. If you want to see the traditional timeline, switch to the Detail View.
-
AD-1278 Remove tasks from the timeline and task lists if a project is deleted
If a project is deleted, any tasks that were associated with that job will be removed from the Timeline and Task List within the Resources module. -
AD-1287 Task Details > If a task is associated to a deliverable, provide a link to access the deliverable
When looking at your tasks for the day, if a task is associated to a deliverable, we've added a link that takes you directly to that deliverable within the project. If a task is associated with many deliverables, then there will be a link to each deliverable.
-
AD-1296 Drag n Drop attachments onto a task
When creating or editing a task, you can now Drag and Drop additional files into the task, rather than having to click and search for them.
-
AD-1299 Improve linking a project document to a task
We have simplified the way we add project documents to a task.
-
AD-1297 Improve time logging
We have greatly simplified the time logging screen. This should make it quicker and easier to log time on tasks.
Bug Fixes
-
AD-1274 New Deliverable > Setting Asset Type > Cannot expand the asset type selector
When adding new deliverables to your project, you must specify an Asset Type for them. We have fixed an issue where users were not able to expand the available list of asset types when long lists resulted in specific selections being hidden.
-
AD-1256 Approval > Adding more approvers after submission means they cannot share feedback with other approvers
Once you have submitted an item for approval, you can then edit the list of approvers. We fixed a bug where any approvers that were added after the initial submission were unable to share their feedback with other users.
-
AD-1261 Online Forms > HTML tags visible is some forms
Fixed a bug where HTML tags were appearing on screen under certain conditions.
-
AD-1307 Full Screen Approval View > Some markup disappearing from UI
Under certain conditions, when viewing other people's markup in the Full Screen Approval view, some markup was not being shown in the interface. This has now been fixed.
-
AD-1298 Improve linking a task to a project/deliverables
We have greatly simplified the way we assign a project to a task. Now, if you want to add deliverables to a task, you do this in a separate step.
-
AD-1286 Task data being lost when selecting a resource
Fixed an issue where some data would be lost when assigning a task to a user.
