Version 5, Release 6

• Fixed a problem seen under Microsoft SQL Server 2008r2 where an error dialog stating "Incorrect syntax near 'TABBLOCKX'" could occur.

Version 5, Release 5.1.34

Note: Ad Manager 5.5.1.34 requires Content Manager 5.1.34 or newer!

• When you specify the default playlist (what to play when there's nothing else scheduled to play), Ad Manager now allows you to specify a default playlist for each frame in the slot structure with the ability to override that for individual day-parts and triggers.
• If a Player loses connectivity, and all the scheduled content expires (without the Player receiving any new updates), the Player will now display the appropriate default playlist, instead of going black.
• The Contracted Open Space reports now show the custom subcontracted value (prorated over the periods presented in the reports).
• The Ad Manager APIs can now be accessed from Java code, using the j-interop library.
• If Content Manager synchronizes players while Ad Manager is publishing an update, in rare cases this could cause media to play elsewhere than scheduled. This is now fixed.
• Fixed a problem when upgrading from the older Charting Pro software, where the automatic sequence numbers (for contracts, etc.) could get reset, resulting in out-of-order numbering.
• Fixed a problem where certain columns added by an extension module were not being offered in the column-picker.
• Fixed a problem where publishing playlists would fail with a "numeric overflow error", for players whose ID was greater than 32767.
• Fixed a problem where using a time-trigger with a recurrence of "once" could lead to an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error during publishing.
• Fixed a "Key not in dictionary" error that could occur when selecting the default playlist.

Version 5, Release 5.1.20

• When looking at faces or player slots, there are new columns available to show the rate information that is in effect today, based on the rate schedule.
• When updating contracts, static subcontracts, sites, or faces, it is now possible to also update the posting card note at the same time.
• Updated the Category Sales Summary and Category/Advertiser Sales Summary report layouts to reflect the recent rate card improvements.

Version 5, Release 5.1.19

• Reports related to media items, e.g. proof-of-play reports, can now contain thumbnail images.
• The EYES ON Impressions fields support values up to one million.
• When a user schedules a media change for a reservation, the sequences of any pre-existing playlists will now be preserved.
• Fixed a problem where Ad Manager could incorrectly determine availability and overbooking, if you have defined slots for overlapping day-parts (e.g., "am", "pm", and "all-day"). Fixed the equivalent problem in the Digital Open Space tool.
• Fixed intermittent runtime error 80004005 that could occur upon closing Ad Manager in a terminal server environment.
• The multi-select Order as Required tool now will correctly order playlists that still have pending warnings.
• When applying a loop structure to a playlist, surplus items are evenly distributed among the various "<Any>" segments, and effectively-consecutive "<Any>" segments are merged so that adjacency-conflict rules can be applied.
• Fixed a problem where the Export Playlists to XML tool could lock up if an approved but empty media set was present in one of the playlists.

Version 5, Release 5.1.17

• Fixed a problem where a user whose role is Ad Manager - Financial Leasing - Denied could still see lease details.
• Fixed a problem where if you customize a list view, then the properties of the "owner object" were unavailable. Now fixed.
• Report templates displaying financial data no longer use the dollar-sign, which would be wrong when using other currencies.
• When using the Image Processing tool to load images in bulk, for postings you can specify if the image is the Closeup or the Approach image. For faces or sites images, you can specify if the image is the Primary Image or the Map Image.
• For static charting, the CBSA EOI weekly value for the 18+ demographic group can be stored and used. When charting, a total "daily" EOI is calculated and can be used as the scheduling target (the same as if GRP or DEC was used). The EOI 18+ value can be used to search and locate faces and sites.
  • CBSA (Core Based Statistical Area) is defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget, a metropolitan area(s) within larger markets (e.g. DMAs) containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. CBSA's are a standard geography for buying and selling media.
  • EOIs - EYES ON Impressions are the total number of times people passing an OOH display are likely to notice the ad for either 12 hours (un-illuminated: 6:00 am to 6:00 pm), 18 hours (illuminated: 6:00 am to 12 midnight) or 24 hours. Unless specified as In-Market, EOIs include all persons who notice the unit, regardless of the origin of their trips. EOIs are reported in weekly increments.
• Fixed a problem where the Lease Payment Schedule default list views contained an invalid column which would cause attempts to export data to fail with an error message. You may still have to customize or reset any existing (saved) Lease Payment Schedule list views to make sure the invalid column — shown as "???" - is removed.
• Fixed a problem where Ad Manager could crash when attempting to print certain reports.

Version 5, Release 5.1.6

• The Maintenance (Site) property page of the Ad Manager Face Finder was listed twice. Now fixed.
• The Playlist Details window now shows to total loop length (in addition the the length of each entry, which was already shown).
• When auto-charting, any candidates that are skipped should have remained in the candidate list, but were being removed. Now fixed.
• Digital proof-of-play reports can now show the times and weekdays that a media item is scheduled to play.
• When duplicating a site, you can now easily give the new site its own face numbers. The new face numbers will be based on the old face numbers, updated in a "search-and-replace" style based on the pattern you specify.
• When assigning designs, the board size is shown in the Assign Face dialog, to help in selecting the correct design.
• When customizing the view for the list of digital subcontracts, you can now add Subcontract (Digital) Notes as a column.
• Fixed a problem where the first image in the list could not be previewed in the Image Processing tool.
• Under Digital Subcontracts > Requirements, the Other Criteria were not being saved correctly. Now fixed.
• Removed the Save and New button from the Subcontract > Flights page, where it did not belong.
• When working with images of faces, if you delete a newly-added image it could lead to an error message when saving the face. Now fixed.
• Fixed a problem where the E-Ad Manager module would not work unless the Static Media module had been enabled.
• In the Image Processing tool, if you type or paste a full path into the Folder field, the image list wasn't getting filled with the images in that path. This is now fixed.
• In the Image Processing tool, fixed a problem where the Face(s) option was incorrectly ghosted, and fixed on "Object doesn't support this property or method" error dialog when searching on Face number.

• Fixed a problem where opening a recently created log from the Incident Details page could lead to a runtime error.
