More Usage Reporting
We've added a number of new reports such as an enhanced 'Details Usage Report', which includes all users that were sent a Release (both those with and without usage data); as well as a 'Monthly Release Deliveries Report', which summarizes your deliveries to destinations for internal reporting and billing purposes.
We've also listened to your feedback and rolled all Cloned Releases into a single reporting record to make your data tracking faster and easier.
Time Preferences
Now you can set dates in DMDS to display in the format of your choice, and the time to your timezone, wherever you are in the world!
- Log in to DMDS
- Click 'Preferences' at the top-right, and use the drop-down menu to select the timezone, time format, and date format of your choice
Tips 'n' Tricks
Countdown Mode - Do you have a high profile release coming down the pipe, and you can't make it available to destinations, but want to make them aware that it's coming and when? Countdown Mode puts the release right at the top of destinations' Libraries, with a real-time countdown timer (eg. 3 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes) letting them know when the release will be accessible.
Here's how: From the 'Schedule' sub-tab under 'Details' when you're creating a release, change the 'Scheduled Date' to when you want the release to become available. Now click the 'Countdown Mode' option to 'On'.
It's that easy!
