Download Ad Specs

Our recent upgrade includes a new feature in beta testing. This feature provides a way for advertisers to download your Ad Sizes as InDesign documents.

We currently do not create the InDesign file for the ad sizes automatically. If you wish to make this feature available for your users, you must edit each ad spec individually. You can edit any field in the ad spec to trigger the .INX file generation. An easy way to do this is to edit the ad size code field, hit tab or click another field to save the change, then return to the code field to restore the original code value.

You'll then see the button to download the .INX file in the ad size viewer:

Customizable message for upload form

Responding to numerous feature requests, we've added a new feature that allows you to create a customizable message for each of your publications. Whenever a user uploads an ad, they will see this message, depending on the publication they select.

You control the message in the publication setup.

The best part is that you can post HTML links so you now have a way to present your own media kit or schedule PDF files right where the advertiser will see them.

Revamped advanced search

We have completely revamped the advanced search window to simplify the options and to provide quicker search results.

Look for an upcoming how-to video in the site.

It's still accessed by clicking the magnifying glass in the Quick Search widget.

Saving text templates

Saving text and email templates is now working correctly. One slightly new feature with this is that there is now a confirmation message returned to you after you save a template, or a warning if the template could not be saved for some reason.

Hiding publications from advertisers

You may wish to temporarily hide a publication so that advertisers cannot upload ads to it.

We've introduced a new feature that will allow you to do this easily. Simply go to the Manage Publications > Publication Settings and look for this new option:



Simply uncheck this "Allow advertisers to upload to this title" option to hide it from advertisers.

Publisher users will still be able to access the title normally.

This new setting is turned on by default so you don't have to do anything unless you wish to use this new feature.
