DPS AdTracker™:Online X 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™:Online ever! 

DPS AdTracker™:Online X has been entirely rewritten to dramatically improve performance and dovetail with the next generation “X” Clients. It also has a foundation for DPS to build additional web modules on.

Improved performance.

Users upgrading from AdTracker™:Online 3.0 will immediately notice performance gains on login, searching and paging.

Find ads faster.

AdTracker™ X style search capabilities allow the user to quickly drill down to find the ads they need by:

• Ad Number.
• Customer / Account #.
• Sales Rep / Team.
• Ad Status.
• If an ad is not found, archived ads can also be searched.

AdTracker™ Client-style Advanced Query.

The power of AdTracker™ X Client Advanced Queries arrives Online! Users are now able to build complex queries on any combination of fields to find the ads they need. Query and Sort on:

• Ad Number.
• Customer / Account #.
• Sales Rep / Team.
• Ad Status / Sub-Status.
• Type / Publication / Size.
• Date Range / Day Of Week. 

View crucial details without extra steps.

Just like the mini-expand pane in AdTracker™ X, 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.

Drag-and-drop materials submission.   

DPS AdTracker™:Online X now allows users to submit materials by simply dragging individual elements or entire folders on the upload screen. The system automatically determines the file types submitted and files them accordingly into the jacket.

Know when all materials are submitted.  

It is now possible for the user to automatically notify you that they have submitted all the materials for an ad. With a single checkbox, the system can change the status of the ad to indicate that all materials are in and the ad is ready for production.

Easier materials submission to a specific ad.

A user can submit materials directly to a specific ad by clicking on the ad in the main window and then clicking SUBMIT.

Simplified correction workflow.

The new upload dialog has provisions for corrections. Users who opt to submit corrections can now use a unified workflow that is the same as the original submission process.

Support for Flash Web Ads. 

DPS AdTracker™:Online X now fully supports both file submission, notification and electronic proofing of Adobe Flash Web Ads.

Video Help Tutorials make things easy!

Full video help tutorials are provided in each DPS AdTracker™: Online X site for both new and existing users.
