Gave up creating a new company because you couldn't find a logo? Now they're auto-generated
You can always change it later...
We know a few people got stuck setting up new companies because step 2 (of 2) required logo and they weren't always easy to find. So to combat this, the system will now auto-generate a logo for you. So if you're part way through, jump back in and you'll see you no longer need to find one - then you can finish creating the profile and get started with measuring!
w/c 27th July
See your Final Footprint details and collaborators more easily, plus a new Actions button
A refresh for the Final Footprint page
Looking at a Final Footprint and trying to remember what companies are working on it with you? We know, the details were a little hard to find! So now we’ve added everything you need to the top of the page, including any brands and other collaborators you’re working with, plus the number of shoot days and budget (if visible to your company). In addition, the Actions button has everything you need, including: Mark a project as finished, add other companies and tags, and download PDF analytics reports as well as data in excel format.
Plus, you can now add companies to a Final Footprint, even when it’s finished. So if you want to include another company for visibility, go for it.
w/c 20th July
The all new progress bar…
A helping hand towards superuser-dom
Keeping track of the Final Footprints that still needed to be finished wasn’t the easiest, so now we’ve added a progress bar on the Final Footprint list page, to help you visualise how many Final Footprints are in progress, vs those which have been finished. With many companies trying to finish their Final Footprints before the end of the year this should be the helping hand you need. Forgotten to add an activity? Don’t worry, just use the 3 dot menu to revert to in progress, add what’s missing then hit the finish button again.
The progress bar also updates when you filter, so if you want to see how many projects are left to finish for a particular brand, or time period, filter away!
w/c 13th July
Want to filter by shoot, shooting space type or flights? Or date finished instead of date created?
Now you can with these new filters for Final Footprints
You asked, we delivered! For those wanting to filter Final Footprints to include or exclude those with shoots or flights, or view only those that include studios or locations, now you can. And for users who want to work with date finished instead of date created (as AdGreen does, when creating the annual dataset each yet), there’s a filter for that too. Get yourselves familiar with them - they’ll be available in the upcoming analytics section too.
A new look Download Data button
Download your Final Footprints in excel format whenever you like
The eagle eyed amongst you have already been downloading your data using the download button, however we’ve now made it a little bit more obvious! So here’s a refresher for those who might need it.
w/c 6th July
Arrival of the set build benchmark in Final Footprints
Struggling to add art department materials?
You may already be familiar with the set build benchmark, as it’s in Early Insights, and we’ve now added it to Final Footprints too. So if you’re unable to get specific weights for the various art department materials you may have used on your production, use the benchmark option instead. Simply indicate where the shoot took place and how many of each size set build your shoot had, and the relevant materials will be added for you.
This information is also reflected on your data export (download this via the button on the project list page), so that you can see how many times actual data was recorded, vs using the benchmark.
w/c 29th June
Ability to indicate how many previously purchased drives you’re reusing
A way to capture your production's reduction efforts
Many of you wanted a way to record hard drives you were reusing, as well as those you were purchasing new - now you can on both Early Insights and Final Footprints. Simply enter how many of each and we’ll calculate the CO2e accordingly: 0kg for anything reused, and 200kg for anything newly purchased.
Again, this information is also reflected on your data export, so that you can analyse the extent to which you’re purchasing new drives vs reusing them.
Download your Final Footprint’s analytics report directly from the burger menu
Measurement of text, image and video responses now available in both Early Insights and Final Footprints.
Now as well as managing users, adding tags and duplicating Final Footprints (among many other fun actions), you can download your analytics PDF directly from the burger menu, without needing to open the Final Footprint and go to the analytics tab. Easy peasy.
w/c 22nd June
Shiny new admin area!
Click the cog to manage users, company settings and your company’s family tree
We’ve updated the settings admins have access to so that they’re all in one place - found by clicking the cog between the company name and the icon where you’ll find your personal settings and the log out button.
Once you click on the cog, you’ll find the admin area with three distinct tabs:
Manage users
See active users including the date they joined your company and when they were last active - plus change their role and/or delete them using the buttons. You can also invite new users - and resend or cancel their invites as necessary, and manage any requests from users to join your company.
Company settings
Here you can update the company logo, name and location, as well as any domains that have automatic access (to save you needing to approve requests).
Family tree
Here you can view your company’s family tree, i.e. any parent company which has been added (which you can also add/edit if needs be), as well as any child companies - those who have added your company as their parent. You can also download this tree to pdf.
Can’t see the cog? It just means you’re not an admin for that company, instead you’re a user. Need to manage some of these settings? Ask your admin to upgrade you or get in touch with us if you’re unsure who that is.
Got a notification next to the cog? That means there’s one or more requests from users to join your company. Click the cog to manage them.
