The Next Generation AdTracker™ for Windows

DPS AdTracker™ X for Windows represents a radical leap forward in productivity and convenience. We’ve listened to users at our three hundred plus installed newspapers to bring you the most advanced version of DPS AdTracker™ for Windows ever!

DPS AdTracker™ X has been entirely rewritten so that both the Mac and Windows platform share a common user interface.  It also supports multi-user installs with either Citrix or Windows Terminal Services.

Find ads faster.
“Spotlight”-style search capabilities allow the user to quickly filter ads by only typing a portion of the ad number.
- If your ads start with common numbers, such as leading zeros, there is no need to type them.
- If you wish to find a range of ad numbers such as SPEC165805 through SPEC165809, simply type “SPEC16580”.
- Type just enough digits of the ad number to make it unique.
- On-screen filters allow you to drill down quickly to find ads.
- Access your saved Advanced Queries with a single click.
- Filter only the ads you are working on by checking a box.
- If an ad is not found, all publications are searched automatically. 

View crucial details without Expanding.
When you highlight an ad, you can now see a thumbnail preview of the ad as well as the most important fields from the Electronic Ad Jacket.

Context menus speed tasks.
By Right-Clicking (or Control-Clicking) on an ad, you immediately have access to the most common actions that you can perform.

Quick drag-and-drop attachment.
When an ad is highlighted, you can now drag individual pieces of art or folders to the “Quick Attach” area to have it automatically added to the Electronic Ad Jacket. Dropping an element while holding down the SHIFT key will rename the art and convert it into an Electronic Ad.

Customize the Advanced Query window.
The Advanced Query Window now has the ability to set the current search criteria to the default query.  Saved queries are also available on the main AdTracker™ screen for quick access.

Manage DPS AdTracker™:Online Users.
Easily manage Sales Representative and Customer accounts directly from the AdTracker™ X Client by clicking either “Show Sales Rep Info” or “Show Customer Info” when an ad is selected.
