Static Data Import Tool
Added improvements to the UI for usability purposes, along with performance improvements.
Face Revenue Report
Renamed the Lease Revenue Report to Face Revenue Report.
Pricing Type
Removed the Pricing Type in the Missing Face and Missing Face Pack sections.
Static Data Import Tool
Added the Static Data Import tool, which allows clients to import core data automatically into the dedicated Broadsign domain’s Static database.
Sales Contract Improvements
Reworked the Sales Contract template.
Static Campaigns menu
Modified the layout of the Static Campaigns main menu so that the options are more readable.
Screen Count for programmatic groups
The screen count for programmatic groups will be included in the information that is pushed to Programmatic Campaigns from the Platform’s Inventory Management tool.
Automating average weekly impressions
Average weekly impressions is a metric used in programmatic campaigns for forecasting. As we had all the audience information available to us, we automated the calculation of the average weekly impressions. and applied the calculated amount to the field in the inventory for that screen.
This calculation is redone every time the audience schedule is updated using the following 4 weeks worth of audience data.
This field can still be edited by the user using the inventory quick or bulk update.
Programmatic Status Setting
Users will now be able to manually set screens to Inactive or Active once a screen has been synced into Programmatic Campaigns. This will allow a greater level of control for publishers to see which screens can be used in programmatic deals.
The user must ensure that the screen meets the requirements to be transactable.
New Audience Scheduler Role
Created a role to provide greater control to Admins to assign to their internal users. This role will allow users to create audience campaign proposals but not push them into production.
Programmatic Screen Groups
Screen groups in Content and Network Management are now be available to be transacted programmatically in the Broadsign Platform.
Reach Device ID
To ease migrations for customers using classic Programmatic Campaigns, the Reach Device ID field is now included in the inventory. When the screens sync from the Platform to Programmatic Campaigns, Platform screens will be mapped to the corresponding screen with the matching Reach ID to avoid duplication.
Screen Type Field
