Pending Update

We have had quite a few people ask about knowing ahead of time when a release of the improvements that they want are going to be released. Now while we cant give a concrete time too far down that road, we can let you know a few hours, days or possibly weeks before we go live with a new version.

Image

This will now show up on the Dashboard and countdown to our potential release time and date.

Clicking on this reminder will open the ComingSoon window containing the details of what is coming in the next release as well as what we are looking to work on farther into the future.

Modules

The system is divided into several task-based areas called modules. Each module represents a different group of similar tasks that need to be performed throughout the traffic and billing process.

  • Copy (List)
    The one-stop location to manage all copy across the entire system.
  • Contracts
    Where you will view, add, modify, etc. the contracts that will be used to schedule spots onto the daily logs (or to generate invoices in the case of off-air revenue).
  • Log
    Everything related to editing, exporting and reconciling the daily logs.
  • Billing
    This is the one-stop shopping that provides access to all the tools necessary to efficiently get billing completed.
  • Accounts Receivable
    Now that you have the contracts and logs done, this is the module used to bring everything together and generating invoices. Once you receive payment on these invoices, you will also use this module to handle payments and adjustments.
  • Reports
    Want to print some information out? The Reports module contains several "standard" reports that you can preview or print; in some cases actually export to several other viewable formats.
  • Settings
    Think of this as the "global settings".
