      Ad Types

      The Ad Type of a request is basically a label for what was sold and/or what needs to be created. These labels are set up from the beginning of your vPPO use but can be modified. 

      Local Admin users can access the Ad Type tool in their left-hand navigation. 

      NOTE: Some corporations enforce "Corporate Ad Types" that can not be altered locally. Unique local Ad Types may still be created.

      Ad Type Versioning (custom fields)

      • Ad Type versioning will now allow json code changes to update ad types while retaining details on orders previously submitted.  If text fields have been removed, or if select menus have been altered, original details can be visible.
        • When ad type is updated, enter json code, use the checkbox to “Force New Version” before submitting

      This will create a new version which will be listed at the bottom of the ad type profile

      new custom field options to your Quick Orders.

       

      Status View Based on Ad Type

      With this feature, you can remove certain status options via the ad type profile.   Open the ad type profile to see checkboxes for system status choices that are allowed to be removed.  If a status is unchecked, it will NOT be visible in status drop-down on order entry or list view. The idea is to remove unnecessary status options, like needs dubbed on a digital spot.

      Reset POCs based on Ad Type

      Now the option to reset or not reset  POC’s can be assigned via the Ad Type profile.  The default setting is to use the firm option, (whatever is in the firm settings) now the menu bar adds the option to Clear POC’s or to Not Clear POC’s based on the ad type.
