New Features and Improvements
Improved Account Recovery
It happens to the best of us. A forgotten password, username or maybe BOTH. While the friendly help staff at vCreative will always be standing by to get you into your account, we wanted to make sure you had a quick and easy way to get into your account on your own as well. The login page for vPromotions (as well as vPPO) has the link for "Account Recovery". This unique page will allow you to enter what information you DO know and email you to get you quickly back into the system. If you are doing a password reset it
will apply to both your vPromotions and vPPO accounts.
Pick A Prize Contests
Now, you can let your winners
Pick A Prize instead of having to assign them one. People love choices! Let’s say that you plan on having a "Spring Cleaning Weekend" during which you are going to give away all of the leftover stuff in your Prize Closet, and have the On Air Winners choose what they want! Here’s how to make that happen:
Creating the Pick A Prize Package
-
Create a Prize Package to assign to the Contest Plays either as Step 3 of the Wizard (after scheduling the Plays) or in the Prize Closet
-
Check the Pick A Prize checkbox when creating the Package
-
As many different prizes as you need to the Package and Save.
On the On Air Screen
-
When the Winner is chosen and entered, the Pick A Prize choices will show below Winner Name and Notes. It will list each item in the Package with a checkbox to the left of it.
-
Click the checkbox next to the Prize that the Winner Picks and click Assign Winner!
-
That’s it!
Enhanced Manual Liner Scheduling
Want to schedule your Liners the old fashioned way: One Liner at a time? Or maybe you just want to fill in the open Liner spaces with a few hand-picked Liners. Either way, you are going to like Enhanced Manual Liner Scheduling. Just click the “Activate Manual Scheduling” switch on the Liner Grid (Promotions Directors and Program Directors). Now when you click an Available space on the grid, a list of available Liners to schedule shows up for you to choose from. Choose one, click Insert, and repeat.
Delete Recurring Calendar Items
It has happened to everyone at one time or another, you create a Recurring calendar item for that weekly Thirsty Thursday remote, and choose a few too many months. The new “Delete Recurring” button will fix that without an embarrassing call to the Help Desk. Click on one of the Recurring Calendar Items (any of them except the original item) and you’ll see a red Delete Recurring button right next to Make Recurring. Clicking it will give you a choice between getting rid of them all, all except the original, or just the one you clicked on and all of the recurring items after it.
Attach Audio to Static Liners
Now you can Attach Audio (airchecks) to Static Liners, just like you do for the scheduled ones, so you’ll have the airchecks for the Recaps either way!
Other Improvements
-
The “Winner By Prize” Report now provides the Status of the Prize.
- In the On Air Screen, clicking on a Play will no longer cause the view to jump to the top.
