Features and Fixes Jan 2011

Features
  • SMA Official Help Manual 1.0 release. To view go to Sma Help area and click manual button. Not all entries are available yet but we are working diligently to complete the manual.
  • Publishers can now change the ad contact associated with the ad. This is useful for publishers who upload ads on behalf of their customers and would like the customer to be able to access the SMA ad. This can be found in the left side ad view panel under job ticket.
  • Upload Times can now be seen in the ad view file properties panel.
  • Ipad ads with both horizontal and vertical previews can now be rotated to see both preview types.
  • Ad View left panel resizers. This is particularly helpful for French Canadian language users. In the ad view you can now re-size the left panel by grabbing the resize handle at the top right of the panel. You may also re-size the inputs and label distance by grabbing the space between the label and input. See video here.
  • Skype integration. If a user has their skype profile set as public and fill their skype name out in the SMA user profile, the user may be directly contacted via skype from several views.
    • The views:
      • Chat View
      • Customer List View
      • User Profile View
  • Better GWG integrations
    • Incoming GWG ads now make more attempts to connect with the existing SMA users.
    • Outgoing files maintain GWG information that is missing from the SendMyAd data.
  • Publishers can now change the text displayed when ads reach the revision limit.
  • If you are a publisher who is in a group with other SMA publishers, you can now gain the right to see all customers who join the parent publisher's portal.
  • Publishers using "publisher approval system" can now enforce materialsId or booking number to be present before approving the final ad.
  • SWF ads now show thumbnails in the ad list and thumbview.
  • New email notification for when assets are uploaded to an ad.
  • New option for managing material ID numbers during pickup: Create an entirely new materialId for a new publication, or keep the same if pub is unchanged.
  • Add additional validations to ensure properly formatted and unique publication codes.

Fixes
  • Calendars can now be translated to different languages.
  • Better user interface for users who are registering with an existing SMA account. This reduces company redundancies.
