New Features and Improvements
Task List Item History
When viewing items in the Task List, each item includes a history icon that, when clicked, will give you the task history for that item.
Liner List and Liner Avails Buttons
From the Liner Grid, you can click on the Liner List button and see a list of all currently running liners with run dates, number scheduled within the current week, and the total number scheduled.
Also from the Liner Grid, click on the Liner Availability button, choose the criteria that you would like, and click Get. The tool will get the total number of avails based on the dates and criteria that you enter.
Date Claimed on Winner History
The date and time on which the winner claimed the prize is now listed in the winner's history.
Multiple Liner Selection
Multiple liners can now be selected on the On Air screen and marked as tracked via the Mark all as Tracked button.
Live PRF and Assignment Options
Users can now get an email notification every time a PRF goes live on their station. Stay informed and know what promotions are starting up!
Also, when someone assigns a user as Sales, Talent or Promotions for a PRF, they can receive an instant email notification.
New General Settings
Broadcast Calendar
Some users like a calendar to be displayed "broadcast style", with Monday through Sunday formatting. Some also like the default Sunday through Saturday layout. A new user option lets you choose which way to display the Calendar in your account.
Details from Blog
This new option makes it so when you click on the notification for a new message in the Blog Badge drop down, you load up the full details of the PRF in addition to seeing the tool to enter a new blog message.
Auto Advance On Air Option
Each on air talent can set their On Air view to auto advance. After click Mark as Read or Mark as Tracked, the screen will auto-advance to the next item in the list.
Sales Assignments
Sales people can now be assigned to a PRF once the PRF is submitted. You can do this from the People tab on the Details page for each PRF.
Station-Based vs Firm-Based Rules
Promotion Directors can now choose from Days Between Wins (Station) and Days Between Wins (Firm) to allow rules to check against either wins specific to one station or across all stations in your group.
Password Reset Clarification
When a vPromotions user changes their password through the Forgot Password link on the login page, they receive an email with a link that allows them to change their password for vPromotions and vPPO simultaneously. We've also added a notation on the page to remind users from both systems of this connection.
