WORKSPACES

Workspaces (also known as ‘Tabs’) are different views that allow users to precisely track various data in X1. As such there are different Workspaces for different purposes. Some Workspaces are designed to get a good overview of i.e. orders, others allow a great overview of Assets while even others allow interaction between multiple lists.

The availability of Workspaces depend on permissions for each user. You can easily get an overview of the Workspaces available by clicking the '+' icon at the top right of your screen.

In the following you will find a description of the various workspaces in X1, but remember you may not have access to all of them.

Orders Table

The Orders table is a list view of all print and digital orders/lineitems in your system. Use this list to track orders. Doubleclick an order to open the campaign view where specific previews and data of one or more creatives.

Ad Tracking

The Ad Tracking screen is split in two sections:

• The top section contains a list of all print and digital orders/lineitems

• The bottom section contains a list showing assigned or unassigned creatives.

When selecting an order/lineitem in the top list the bottom list will show creatives that are either assigned or unassigned.

Use the black chip labelled Assigned/Unassigned in the search bar to select which type to show.

Assigned creatives are the creatives that have been added to the order/lineitem selected.
Unassigned creatives are creatives that have not been added to any order/lineitem.

You can from both top and bottom list enter choose ‘Find matching’ from the the context menu. This will assist you on finding the right match by filtering on the width and height (with a tolerance).

When you have found your matching material, you can drag and drop to the order you want to match it with.

DAM (Digital Asset Management)

In ADPOINT, assets are the components that are used when designing a creative; images, logos and text/copy are examples of assets.

• The top right section contains a list of all assets in the system. But when selecting an order/lineitem in the left side, the list is automatically filtered to show only assets that are assigned to the selected order/lineitem. This is indicated by a black chip showing the selected job number.
  Unselecting an order/lineitem in the left side toggles the filtering off and restores list of all assets.
  To narrow down the content of the section, filters can be applied.

• The bottom right section shows a list of all assets related to the customer. When selecting an order/lineitem in the left side, the list is automatically filtered to show only assets that are assigned to the customer of selected order/lineitem. This is indicated by a black chip showing the selected job number.
  Unselecting an order/lineitem in the left side toggles the filtering off and restores list of all assets.

Assigning assets to an order/lineitem

To assign assets to an order/lineitem, drag one or more marked assets from either of the two windows to the right and drop them on the receiving order/lineitem to the left.
