We've put together a video that illustrates the Automatic Summarization feature being demonstrated using the Revenue Projection Detail report as an example. The feature is available on nearly every report. Please set aside two minutes to watch the video so you can start leveraging this feature. Watch...

Note

Some of the mentioned items will only be available as optional features (or enhancements to) and are available to customers who have and are current with their monthly service agreement. If you have any questions, please feel free to follow up with customer service or your sales representative.

Updates


1074

  • Modified Log Editor so that the Administrator role has the same permission as the Traffic Manager and Group Administrator (without SuperAdmin) roles.
  • Corrected an issue that occurs under specific circumstances where SPW based orders would not allow modifying the end date (stopping) using a Sunday date.

1073

  • Modified ENCO log export to support the ability to override the transition (FORMAT) code to an A/L/N/S value. By default, transition is an A; no additional effort is needed to leave it defined as an A.
  • Modified automatic reconciliation so that any aired files that contain categories are now filtered to only the categories that are configured in RT.
  • Added support for Wide Orbit automatic reconciliation.
  • Added a YYYY-MM column to A/R so that transactions can be grouped together by year-month. When grouped, displays total amount of debit and credit transaction(s).
  • Fixed issue preventing the deletion of a customer (SuperAdmin) due to pacing data.
  • Fixed issue preventing the deletion of a revenue source (SuperAdmin) due to pacing data.

1072

  • Modified the dashboard so that the Administrator role has access to charts, graphs and information.
  • Modified Statements so that cash and trade are grouped together and identified in the item list.
  • Modified Order List so that oar orders that aren't "flat rate billing" are visible on the report.
  • Modified Inventory report so that "automatic placement" of non-placed spots is executed before brute force distribution into dayparts of left over spots is done.
  • Modified Station config dialog so that "Prelock" is removed as it is currently unused and causing confusion.

1071

  • Modified Orders so that "Trashed" orders are visible to a SuperAdmin.

1070

  • Corrected issue preventing goal report from providing numbers beyond 3 months.
  • Corrected issue in some cases causing an error when finalizing an invoice (directly) regarding emailing of an invoice.
  • CAUTION: Group Administrators who have SuperAdmin mode enabled can now ***delete*** agency commissions, automation commands, categories, clocks, sales commissions, conflicts, copy, countries, plans, revenue sources, revenue types, avail types, taxes, voices, orders, customers, users and entire stations. Trash should be used under normal circumstances. Use at your own risk! There is no UNDO! This process can not be reversed!

1069

  • Modified Template editor so that missing elements are more clearly visible so they can be repaired/replaced.
  • Modified Enco log export to "trim" spaces around entered cart numbers.

1068

  • Modified statements so that, when the balance is less than 0, the words "CREDIT BALANCE - DO NOT PAY" appear in the header area. (Thanks Tim, Katie, Milissa, Ivaree and Kristy.)
  • Modified statements so that, when the balance is 0 or less, the word "Balance" is used instead of "Amount".
  • Modified A/R so that administrators and accounting managers have access to Reverse and Trash functionality.
  • CAUTION: Group Administrators can now "delete" transactions / dynamic invoices in A/R. Right click on a transaction in A/R that you'd ***DELETE***; meaning all history and reference to it will be removed. There is no UNDO. This process can not be reversed.

1067

  • Modified Placement list back to be 1-10 based on feedback; however, added additional information to remove confusion regarding whether 1 is highest or lowest.

1066

  • Modified WideOrbit export to use an .ASC extension per discussion with WideOrbit.

1065

  • Modified order entry so that "priority" is now referred to as "placement". Additionally, to reduce confusion as to whether or not 10 is better than 1; we now use an A-F "grading".
  • Added a seperate export for WideOrbit Radio Automation; very similar to SS32, yet different enough to require a seperate process.

1064

  • Modified Enco automation export to support cartnumbers defined as nnnnnA where A represents the FUNCTION value used in the automation system. If not defined, assumes that the FUNCTION is A (as it has previously done).
  • Modified Enco automation import (ASPLAY) to support reading if the GROUP and WASPLAY columns do not exist due to running an older version of the automation product. Having these columns produces much better results; highly recommend updating to the current release of the automation product.

1063

  • Added ability to do Save As on the Copy Assignment report.
  • Modified the Inventory report so that more feedback is presented while collecting/processing of information.
  • Enhanced emailing of invoices to provide additional feedback regarding emails not being sent due to the customer's/agency's email address not being resolved is presented (and logged) accordingly.
  • Modified invoices and statements so that the customers address is used by default (regardless of the customers "default" agency information). If an agency is defined on the order or invoice, then the agency address will override the customers address.

1029

1028
