Layout-8000 v15.9.3

Design & Dummy
- The "Show ad conflicts" button now reports group conflicts.
- The "Show ad conflicts" button now reports exclude group conflicts.
- If an ad with an "exclude Sports group" request was placed on a page in the Sports group, that ad now appears as a conflict in "Show ad conflicts".
- The "Show ad conflicts" and "Show ad groups" toolbar buttons function better when the user is viewing multiple zones. Previously, ads were colored (by group or conflict) in the current zone. Now ads are colored in every visible zone.
- When a page or set of pages is added to a group using the Groups item on the page popup menu in ILP, if that page or set of pages neither intersects or abuts any page already in the group, the relative page information in the newly created group segment is now section-relative instead of paper-relative (unless the product uses absolute page numbering, in which case it is still paper-relative).
Reports - ADD Lite
- When the ADD Lite report for an uncreated product tests for an earlier created product as a source of product information, it used to require that the earlier product:
be for the same paper and edition
be already exported
be for the same day of the week as the uncreated product
Now it prefers an exported product for the same day of the week, but if there is none, it tries the following in order until it finds one:
an unexported product with the same day of the week
an exported product with any day of the week
an unexported product with any day of the week
It never tries a product that is not for the same paper and edition.
The pop-up that appears if no such product can be found is now more informative and less likely to be mistaken as indicating a bug.
Reports - Final Report
- When someone selects a product with no tearsheet requests, runs the Final report, and selects only the Tearsheet report, that now results in an empty tearsheet report, even if "Suppress Rpt if empty" was checked. An error message no longer pops up.
- Unpaid ads may be identified by a custom field.
- In products with half/doubled columns, unpaid ad area totals have been corrected.
Reports - Page Dummies (PGL)
- In products with half/doubled columns, page dummies that are based upon XML files show ads with the correct width.
Reports - Press Run report
- The Press Run report has two new options.
- 1. If the "Mark zoned pages" option is checked, then the Press Run Order report will show a "Z" next to each page that is zoned.
- 2. "Separate report by zone". By default, this option is not checked, which results in one Press Run Order report that covers all zones. When this option is checked,the user will receive one Press Run Order report per zone.
Send to Pagination
- Fixed a bug in the "Creating Merge File (BILLING)" command which resulted in no merge file and subsequent errors. Behind the scenes, the admerge program reported "Unable to open $LAY_ADS/ads database, status 115." That bug has been fixed.
Event Log
- When "Cardex Differences" are reported to a user, that event is logged. In the Event Log, that event looks like:
Date = 04/28/2017
Time = 13:00
User = cwolfe
Action = DIFFAD
Type = PRODUCT
Object = (blank)
Paper = 01
Edition = 01
Run Date = 04/28/2017
Notes = Cardex Differences detected. - The Event Log captures more information about killed ads. In Cardex Differences, the user is presented with a list of killed ads as usual, and the user may uncheck ads or press the Cancel button to NOT kill the ad(s). The Event Log captures the user's per-ad decisions, including when they DECLINE to kill ads. In the Event Log, this looks like:
Date = 04/28/2017
Time = 13:01
User = cwolfe
Action = DIFFAD
Type = AD
Object = 1234567890
Paper = 01
Edition = 01
Run Date = 04/28/2017
Notes = declined kill - The above improvements to the Event Log will facilitate support and troubleshooting.
AdBoss Suite
- MetaAdBoss was removed from Layout-8000's main menu. LayoutHistoryAdBoss replaces MetaAdBoss.
