UI updates are coming

Introducing our cleanest interface yet

  • Our UI is great – but, it’s not perfect. In this release, we begin a series of UI/UX improvements starting with something simple — colors.

  • With sharper colors and rounded edges, our UI just got even more polished.

 

 


 

 

 

Show the columns you want to see, in the order you want to see them

  • Sometimes you might want to see the website for each property. Other times, you don’t. Now, you get to decide which columns to show, and in what order.

  • You can now do this on Properties, Companies, Contracts, Submissions, and Sales Reports.

 

 


 

 

 

Licensors can assign exclusive rights to a specific licensee or agency

  1. Representation exclusivity - set on representation contracts, means that this agent has exclusive representations rights for selected territory or category or combination of both. Representation exclusivity is shown whenever a new representation contract is being added.

  2. License exclusivity - set on licensing contracts, means that this licensee has exclusive rights for selected territory or category or combination of both. License exclusivity is shown whenever a new representation contract is being added.

 

 


 

 

 

Clearly identify submissions with unseen updates made

  • Wishing there was an easier way to identify submissions with unseen updates? Now, there is. From now on, you can clearly identify which submission items are new or have recent updates with a quick glance.

  • This is done through our submission notifications. Any submission with a red dot in the top corner indicates that new updates have been made to that submission that you have not seen yet.

 

 


 

 

 

Comment visibility is easier to understand 

  • Previously, you could only see comment visibility when writing a new comment. 

  • Now, you can see the same thing after you post it. We want to show that for every comment (that is visible to the user viewing them). 

 

 


 

 

 

Manually assign currency exchange rates to sales reports

  • Manually assign multiple currency exchange rates to each individual sales report to view sales in different currencies. 

  • Switch between added currencies by selecting a currency from the dropdown on the sales report detail view. More to come here, soon!

 

 


 

 

 

Sales report automatic row detection

Save time and effort when uploading a royalty report

  • Uploading a royalty report shouldn't be such a headache. Luckily, this process just got a whole lot easier and time-efficient, thanks to our new automatic row detection feature. 

  • Now, we automatically find the first and last rows from your sales report file and suggest it for you. Now you can do it all without having to leave Assist, simply type in the suggested row numbers to confirm.

 

 


 

 

 

Upload, comment on, and download PDF documents for Submissions

  • Before, our product submission collaboration tools like pinpoint commenting were limited to just image files only. 

  • Now, you can use our collaboration features for PDF documents as well, to upload, comment on, or download both images and PDFs.

 

 

 


 

 

More ways to filter contracts and their data points

  • Contracts can be very complex and have many data points. Now, you can filter on many more of those data points.

 

 


 

 

 

See when product launches (and when the contract expires) on Submissions

  • For someone reviewing a submission, the contract expiration date is an important consideration. Similarly, it would be weird to approve a submission if the launch date is tomorrow, right? 

  • Now, you can see if a product launch date or contract expiration date is coming up soon.

 


 

 

Companies can upload their own custom default sales report template

  • Sales reports vary. Sometimes they need to contain different information. So, having the ability to upload your own custom template only made sense. 

  • Licensors now have the option to upload their own company-specific custom sales report template file to serve as the new default template. 

  • When you upload the sales report template you want to use, it replaces the default template. This will make it available for download to the licensees that need to report their sales, making things easier for everyone.

 

 


 

 

 

Link related submissions

Group related submissions together 

  • Better manage and organize your submissions with our new related submissions feature. Link submissions to other, related submissions.

 

 


 

 

 

Assign payments, royalty rates, and commissions to properties

  • Now — when it comes to payments, royalty rates, and commissions — you can assign them to properties just like you can do with Categories, Territories, and Distribution Channels.

 

 


 

 

 

Files → Creative Assets

'Files' renamed to 'Creative Assets'

  • 'Files' was renamed to 'Creative Assets' to better match industry-recognized terminology.
