1. Introducing Timesheet in MediaFerry

Timesheet overview

MediaFerry users will now be able to log the time they had spent in each of their project. Users will have to log their time in form of sub-tasks. The list of sub-tasks will be configurable for each MediaFerry site and can be changed based on workflow requirements.

Users will be able to select one sub-task from the predefined list and fill the time they've spent on it. The user will still be able to edit the time for any of his/her sub-task after 12 hours of adding it, post this time period they won't be allowed to make any changes. No user will be able to edit or change time for any other user's time log. Multiple users can log the time simultaneously on the same sub-task or a different sub-task for a particular job.

As soon as the user enters the time the total time spend on the project should be auto calculated and displayed in the time log UI. The information will be available in Work Log tab under that particular job.

Timesheet reporting

With introduction of Timesheets, two new SmartReports will be available in MediaFerry to track the time reported by users. These reports are Tasksheet report by task and Tasksheet report by user.

Tasksheet by task - This report will list the projects with all the sub tasks as columns showing the time filled by the users.

Tasksheet by user - This report will list the projects and corresponding user names with all the sub tasks as columns showing the time filled by that user.

2. New custom reports*

Details

We have added three new custom reports titled as Missing Copy Report, Proof Awaiting for Approvals Report and SLA Measurement by Job Status in MediaFerry.

2. Improved workflow for copy-chasing emails*

Details

We've improved our workflow of sending copy chase emails from MediaFerry and added multiple algorithms to give better options to users.

How to send a copy-chase reminder for the first time?

The user needs to click on Send Reminder button and then input the recipient's email address to send reminder email.

Sending a copy-chase reminder for the second time

If the first reminder has already been sent, and the user is using the Resend Reminder button, MediaFerry will send the reminder again to the recipient(s) who has received the first reminder. No need to type the email address again.

MediaFerry will also allow users to add additional recipients everytime they use Resend Reminder functionality to send copy chase emails.

3. Improvements in MediaFerry Grid View*
