File Uploads: Auto-Advance Status
To help expedite the workflow of requests when files of a specified Ad Type are attached, this firm setting can auto-advance to the next logical status. The suggested settings will be for Final Scripts to move the request up to Needs Production, unless script approval is needed, then Script Review. Similarly, Final Spot uploads can auto-advance the request to Needs Dubbed status, or Spot Review if it is required. However, any File Type can be used if your group doesn't specifically use the terms "Final Script" and "Final Spot". This feature is turned OFF by default however. Please have your Local Admin turn this on or have then reach out to the vCreative Help Desk for assistance.
Digital/Upload options will be added soon!

Improved Auto-Delegation
The delegation options (POC column) have for a long time auto-assigned staff if they are the only possible option. As vPPO has been adding more support for Website/Digital and TV station workflow, new delegation rules have been created. The auto-delegations will now pay specific attention to the stations and Ad Types of a request to make sure Audio only producers don't get auto-assigned to a TV spot, and vice versa.
