Subscription Transactions

Jason Schaefer 11 years ago in BLOX CMS updated by Mike Stickler 11 years ago 5
Why do subscription transactions not get listed with other subscriptions (marketplace/subscriptions program)

I had to finally tell our accounting department (and give them access) to use the analytics program to verify revenue for subscriptions. I have a funny feeling the same will be true when we fully turn Ad-Owl on as well.

Persons Asset

Jason Schaefer 11 years ago in BLOX CMS updated 11 years ago 2
One of the projects that I have on my list is a reference guide for medical professionals and health care facilities. The health care facilities are easily done by using your business directory.

After using the election stats program I was thinking that a similar asset for people would be handy to display contact information and other relevant information about the person. (I do not want our business directory filled with non-businesses)

Macros in TCMS using Chrome (or Firefox)

Craig ODonnell 11 years ago in BLOX Total CMS updated by Christine Masters 11 years ago 4
When creating stories and adding photos (that is, working with "Article" and "Image") there are an enormous number of repetitive clicks. For example, in an "Image" asset you click a button to add an image which shows a popup to click to get to the "Browse" dialog, which pops up across the screen from the first button ...)

Being able to use some basic macros, as in Excel, to get from A to B would save a great deal of time and go easier on everyone's wrists and arms.

Is anyone using a macro program on Macintosh successfully? I've tried OSX Automator but it is not giving me results.

When Creating an Employee under 'User'; I would like to see Edit HTML Source on the TAGLINE field.

When Creating an Employee under 'User'; I would like to see Edit HTML Source on the TAGLINE field.  This way I can be positive that at the end of each story, the authors email and hyperlink and font size is just right.

Search option

Ellen Moseley 11 years ago in BLOX CMS updated by Aaron Gillette (Marketing Director, TownNews) 11 years ago 3
Is there a way to search for assets with a start date of "today," such that you can save a search called "Today's stories" or something similar without having to change the date each day? If it's there, I'm just not seeing it. Thanks!

Author for YouTube Asset

Jason Schaefer 11 years ago in BLOX CMS 0
Is there anyway you can add a way to add an author option to the youtube asset? Right now I've noticed our people have been using the batch edit screen to add this information to the asset. (Used for finding a video by a specific videographer)

New Check box sectioning

Jason Schaefer 11 years ago in BLOX CMS updated by Patrick O'Lone (Director of Software Development) 11 years ago 8
It would be nice to add a clear button for the new section system. I am often hearing complaints from our copy desk and editors about incorrect sections being included because they are so used to the old method. Right now they are having to find the active check boxes and uncheck them when they change sections on upload.
Answer
Support for clearing sections has now been added and is deployed.
