What’s new in 2020?

Filtering{{Filtering Your Assets}}

You can now set Favourite Filters, which will be pinned at the top of the updated filter panel. If you are part of multiple Business Units, you can set a different set of favourite filters for each one.

Business Unit filtering has been introduced, so if you are part of multiple BUs you can now easily switch between them, using the BU filter.

Media type filtering is easier than ever with an updated look and a removal of the dependence of media type filters and the media type itself. Now, you don't have to set a media filter, such as Video or Audio, before you can set a media type filter, such as Clock Number or First Air Date.

Dynamic date filtering has been introduced so now you can filter by date fields relative to the current date. For example, you could set a filter to see all assets with Usage Rights expiring in the next week, or see all assets with an Air Date in the last calendar month.

Usage Rights filtering has moved into the filter panel with improved focus.

The Filter Banner has been introduced, allowing you to easily see and edit any filters currently applied.

List View

The list view has been updated to show a more compact view, allowing you to see more assets and more information at once.

Single Asset View

When in single asset view, there is now an enhanced carousel view below the assets, showing you all neighbouring assets.

For PDFs, there are new controls allowing you to zoom in and out of your assets, easily move between pages and view the PDF in your browser's native PDF viewer.

What’s new in 2019?

Look & Feel

Introducing the New Library, a modern design & cleaner UI.

Focused User Interface Design

Less links & actions which now appear with user interactions.

As advertising campaigns get bigger, more content is created and stored in the Library. So to improve the experience of viewing and navigating that content, we've completely redesigned the look and feel of the Library making it more intuitive and easier than before.

Usage rights receives a minor update

Introducing a new Usage status sort filter to the library home allowing you to quickly see inactive/pending rights. 

Presentations

A new home for presentations, the service can now be set up as a standalone service.

Need Help?

With our Walk.me integration users can stay in the library and find quick answers to the burning questions. Look out for Walk.me help tool tips to guide users through the new UI.

We’ve also completely updated our Help, with new, relevant articles, and videos available right at your fingertips in the contextual help menu on the right-hand side.

Just click the blue help button and you'll have access to all the help you need and if you ever have trouble finding the answer to your question, you can always contact us right at the bottom of the menu.

Desktop, Tablet and Mobile

The New Library is responsive to mobile but has some quirks. You can search and re-despatch assets using mobile, but it is not optimised to easily preview assets and videos.
