Workflow V2: Change External Post Vendor

Written by Viviana

Got more than one post-production vendor and need flexibility?

Good news! Creative Force now lets you switch vendors at the work unit level. Here’s how to set it up and make changes—whether for a single Product Request or a whole batch.

How to set it up

The first vendor you select will automatically become the default. To add more options, enable Alternative Vendors and click Add Additional. Click here for more details on this setting.

Once done, head to the External Post tab in the associated Style Guide. This is where you’ll see and manage the folder path for transferring files. Click here for more details on this setting.

How it works

You can update the post-vendor from the Production page or the Product Requests page. Changes can be made in bulk or one Production at a time.

Bulk edit

To bulk change the post-vendor, you will need to select multiple Product Requests and head to ‘Actions’ -> Change Post vendors. All selected Product Requests will then have the same post-vendor.

Single edit

To change the post-vendor on a single work unit, select the Product Request then go to the three-dot menu and select ‘Change Post Vendor’.

On the Product Requests page, you will find another three-dot menu on top of the work unit.
