What you will see

  • A file, including approved artwork, is emailed to the media owner as a download link. The order records which file was sent and its fingerprint (sha256) under Material sent, and where it came from under Material from.
  • A reference only sends nothing; it is kept on the order.
  • Material sent on is today. If that is after the Material deadline, Material late is ticked and you and the planner get the message “Material late:”.

Common problems

  • “Not approved artwork:”. The version you chose has not been approved by the client, so it cannot be sent. Choose an approved version, or ask the account manager to have it approved.
  • “Material needed:”. You gave neither a file nor a reference. Give one of them.
