Our developers in Asia are heading towards a Lunar New Year to celebrate - The Year of the Snake. 🐍
We will therefore be stretching out the coming sprint to ensure high stability while we are low on technical staff.
Hence, we won't send out a release update in two weeks, but rest assured we will be back with loads of good stuff on the other side – Happy Lunar New Year!
Introducing Alternative Sample Code
Managing large assortments with mixed SKUs and EANs can be a hassle. That’s why we’ve enhanced Creative Force to support dual identifiers simultaneously, making it easier than ever to handle complex sample management.
Dual Barcodes: We’re excited to announce that you can now scan and search using an additional sample property, such as “EAN”, across the Creative Force platform.
With the Alternative Sample Code feature activated on your account, your teams can work seamlessly with two identifiers during key activities, including job import, check-in, on-set, and more.
Important: This feature is not enabled by default and will be available only upon request. If you’re interested in enabling it for your teams, please reach out to your CSM.
Glow-Up of Editorial Pages
Managing editorial projects is now easier and more visually appealing with our latest design refresh!
Dedicated Navigation Tabs: We’ve added dedicated tabs for Documents, Images, Products, and Samples, making it easier to locate and manage project assets.
Improved Sorting Options: You can now sort project deliverables by name or created date, offering greater flexibility and control over your project management.
Enhanced Layout for Better Visibility: Minor layout adjustments allow more project information to fit on the screen, improving visibility and usability.
Change Location Enhancements
Lastly, we are happy to share that we’ve updated our location management logic to resolve a few inconsistencies in status labels, event logs, and reporting.
These improvements will enhance clarity in status tracking, reporting accuracy, and overall user experience.
Automatic Status Updates: Samples moved to a check-out location will automatically update their status to “Checked-out,” with the current date recorded as the check-out date, even if the sample was never checked in.
Clearer Check-in and Check-out UI: Users will receive more informative messages about status changes when moving samples to check-out locations, visible in key areas such as the Samples Data Grid and the Scan page.
Event Log Improvements: Event log entries will now provide more detailed descriptions of actions and their triggers, enhancing traceability and reporting accuracy.
