New Feature: Dashboard Enhancements

Release date: September 17, 2019

For many users, the dashboard is the first page they go to every morning to know what needs to be done.

It highlights red flags in the media insertion booking deadlines, the creative projects delivery deadlines, and any missing responsible to make sure everything is on-time and nothing falls in the cracks.  

It also includes quick access to your favourite media  plans.

In this release, we wanted to improve the visibility and usability of the dashboard.

Let's see the enhancements.

See more on your screen

The first thing you'll notice, is that you see a lot more information on your screen compared to the previous version:

We've minimized the screen estate used by

1. The metrics
2. The media plans
3. The footer throughout the system

Online help

We added a few links to our support center to learn how to use the dashboard:

 

Personal -vs- Team Metrics

We re-organized the metrics section to group the metrics by personal and team instead of by module to make it easier to know what's on your plate, versus what's on your team's plate.  

 

Search media plans

You can now quickly search the media plans that are pinned to your dashboard:

New media plans

You can also create new media plans directly from the dashboard:

Recent media plans

We also added a sub-section at the top of the Media plans section that lists recent media plans you've opened.  This provides handy quick access to dive back into a media plan you worked on recently.

 

Add media plan to dashboard

You can also pinned/unpinned media plans directly from the Planning module:
