New right to see publisher's action menu

We've also added a new right to allow or restrict access to the publisher actions menu when viewing an ad. The new right is called "Can see publisher action menu" and can be assigned per group. The default publisher groups will have this right. You will need to add it to any custom groups you've created that need access to this feature.

To do this, visit Manage > Groups, and select each group that must be edited. You can assign the right in the editor view that appears under the Rights section.

New user right to see Dashboard

Following a publisher's request, we've added a new feature that will be in our next update. It will allow you to choose if your users can see the Dashboard. It's called "Can see Dashboard." It is enabled for all default groups in the system. If you have users that are only in custom groups you've created, you'll need to add this new right to the custom groups to still allow access to the Dashboard.

To do this, just visit the Manage > Groups area, and add the right for each group.

New trim tool

One major feature of our upgrade tomorrow is a redesigned trim tool interface. We think you'll find the new interface more efficient and easier to use. We've also added a new optional feature that allows a user to add text to the PDF using the trim tool. A typical use of this would be for adding reader service numbers. Please contact a SendMyAd sales representative for more information on the new type tool.

Watch this screencast to see it in action.

This new version of the tool also will display in French Canadian if that is the language selected for the user.
