Discount Totals

 

Totals are now displayed for  booking discounts, along with a total including VID (Total Discounts). Where Buy dates include more than one VID, the largest VID will be displayed.

 

Reset of default column sorting  

 

A button has been provided in the Spot List and Programme List tabs to restore default column ordering.

 

Electronic Bookings  - Unsent Bookings/ Double ups

When closing a buy if there are new spots that have not been sent to a Broadcaster, we now give the option to send them before closing the Buy.  

When new spots have been sent to the Broadcaster the spot status changes to NewSent to prevent them being re-sent in subsequent Buy sessions and creating a double up of your Buy.

Campaign Manager

Snapshot Comparer – easily confirm your changes

This new tab compares current holdings with previously saved billing information (snapshots). Available snapshot dates for comparison are selected from the dropdown to update the results.

Two views are provided showing like-columns grouped together as shown below, or split into two sections with the latest data on the left of the screen and the comparison on the right.  Lists can be sorted or grouped by the status (or any other column) to give a summary of the new/changed spots.

In both views, latest information is labelled with a 1 prefix, while comparison columns are prefixed with a 2. New spots have a green background fill (Coronation Street) , while changed details within an updated row are highlighted in blue font so you can easily view the changes (The Chase duration changed from 30->45) . Deleted spots have a grey background fill ( 1 News at 6PM).
