We do this for some things now - like Letters to the Editor can be submitted through the User Dashboard, and those will automatically become assets.

But, for fielded data that becomes more difficult because we don't always know the format that the resulting asset should have.

For some simple submissions though, this could be done in the User Dashboard.
I've added this as a feature request - I'm assuming for "important" updates only. Thanks!
There are some cool things you can already do with the Asset Editor, similar to what you describe, I think.

You can toggle to show or hide summaries at the bottom of the BLOX Editorial Assets search.

Summary mode:



Hide summaries:



Like Mike said, you can also customize the columns by dragging and dropping them, or hovering over them to bring up the column selection panel. Some columns can be sorted.



Some of the columns will sort, but others, due to difficult to sort data types, do not. (Mike Stickler is right that section tags are hard to sort because there could be multiples). But start time, priority and title do sort if you hover over them.

And what's great is that the editorial application will "remember" your settings, as long as you use the same computer. This currently works for Editorial and Calendar but is being added to more applications over time.

Also note that you can save searches based on the current results. And, the date fields accept "relative" dates, such as "last week," "yesterday," or "7 days ago." So you can create a saved search to view all editorial assets created since yesterday.
Hi Patrick!

I believe I need to add this as a feature request. I was talking to a few people and we want to make sure we have the specific functionality that is desired.

Can you provide more details on what specifically you want to do? You want to email the report only when the ad is finished running? Automatically, right?
We have a feature request in on this: ability to tell a link asset to open in a new window. A second feature would be to tell the Syndication manager to set that checkbox on all link assets it creates.
Agreed! Or at least, making the administration of lists within block easier. We're also planning on being able to ad tags to the lists, so they can be more easily categorized within blocks.
