Broadcast order preferences help you
automate the creation of broadcast orders
Basic information that’s generally
applied to all broadcast orders, such as a standard
disclaimer, can be set in Preferences. This information
is then copied automatically to every new broadcast
order. Since these essential details appear
automatically, your users only have to enter specific
information about what they’re ordering, which saves
time.
The print copies for setting automatically prints
separate copies of a broadcast order for up to five
different names (or locations, such as Job Jacket). A
standard disclaimer can be included, which can be used to
state your rights and limitations as the agency. The
auto-numbering option lets you number BOs when added, or
when saved.
Usually, a manager sets up the preferences for everyone.
Although these preferences are copied to new broadcast
orders, users can freely change or remove them on the
broadcast order. Changing these details on a broadcast
order doesn’t affect your preferences
Broadcast order preferences and media buying
There are two ways to create broadcast orders: one,
adding the broadcast order yourself from the Broadcast
Order window; or, making broadcast orders automatically
from broadcast media plans.
Regardless of how you create broadcast orders, Clients
& Profits uses the broadcast order preferences to
automate the process. For example, new broadcast orders
are numbered automatically based on the numbering method
you chose in Preferences. And the default disclaimer,
distribution copies, and graphic logo are all copied to
new broadcast orders automatically.
Of course you can change the broadcast order’s
details, such as the disclaimer, to customize a BO for a
particular order. But the broadcast order preferences, if
used well, save data-entry time and make your orders more
consistent.
To enter/change your broadcast order
preferences
1 Choose Setup > Preferences > Broadcast
Orders from the menu bar.
The Broadcast Order Settings window opens.
2 Add (or edit) preference information.
To prevent record-locking, it’s best to copy these
preferences when no one is using Clients &
Profits.
3 Click Save.
When these changes are saved, they will be copied
automatically to all other users.
