[Archived vPPO Release Notes](https://vcreativeinc.com/knowledge/general?hsLang=en#archived-vppo-release-notes) # January 2016 vPPO Release Notes #### Features   ### List View Outsourcing Some markets have connections to outside production houses. These markets have always had to use the  *Inhouse/Outsource* dropdown inside the QO form to specify that a third-party production department was handling a spot request and not their local production department. While that works for groups who allow the AE/submitters to outsource to production houses, it adds steps when a Production Director or other managers are the only ones permitted to outsource work. Now, the POC column's  *Prod* drop-down delegation menu also features one-click access to your outsource options. Only delegators (usually production managers) will see this option, but it does save them multiple clicks by not having to open the QO form to delegate work to a production house.   [![](https://vcreativeinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/yps-1.jpg?width=400&height=195&name=yps-1.jpg)](https://vcreativeinc.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/yps.jpg?hsLang=en) *Quickly outsource work to your external production services.*   ### Clear Assignments on Copy Any production request could have a number of POC delegations. During the Extend and Revision processes, it is common for managers have to  *Firm Settings* in place that remove these delegations. Now, there is a similar option to treat spots being copied the same way. When this new option is enabled by your Local Admin (or support staff at vCreative) the Writer, Prod, Dub, Traffic and Digital POC delegations will clear out when the spot is copied.   [![](https://vcreativeinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/copy+reset.png?width=320&height=119&name=copy+reset.png)](https://vcreativeinc.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/copy+reset-1.png?hsLang=en) *Enabled by Local Admins or your friends at vCreative Help Desk.*   ### Display of Creative Notes The  *Files Column* of the  *List View* includes links to files and information that Traffic and Production staff need to process requests. When a script is being written, sometimes details are provided that don't include the full  *Creative Notes* field on the QO form. So now, no matter what amount of creative details are supplied (Creative Goal, Style, Phone/Site and Locator) the  *Creative Notes* link will be available to show the creative details that were supplied. [![](https://vcreativeinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/creative+notes.png?width=393&height=400&name=creative+notes.png)](https://vcreativeinc.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/creative+notes-1.png?hsLang=en) *No "notes" provided but the other creative fields are.*   ### Due Date on Script Screen When a producer or another creative talent open up the  *script screen*, we want them to have all the details they need to complete the request. We've added the request's  *Due Date* to the formatted information at the top-right of the screen when viewing raw copy.    [![](https://vcreativeinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/script+due+date-1.jpg?width=320&height=143&name=script+due+date-1.jpg)](https://vcreativeinc.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/script+due+date.jpg?hsLang=en) *Found in the upper-right of the script screen.*   #### Bug Fixes - Added history events for when File Types are changed - Fixed searching by Run Dates in the search tool - Fixed ability to clear out start and end dates supplied on Spec spots (when not required) - Fixed "Send email" tool to properly send to all addresses when multiples are provided - Fixed audio file lengths to properly copy over on copy process to new spot - Fixed search issue with creative mid-word use of punctuation (eg. App!e or C@t) - Fixed script issue with mid-word use of punctuations adding spaces (eg. site.com or $5.99) - Fixed script version rollback from stripping text formatting - [General](https://vcreativeinc.com/knowledge/general?hsLang=en#main-content) -
