Good to know:

Check the order: 

 

• Delivery/Media Manager. You will find your order in the Media Manager if it hasn’t been sent/ passed the QC or needs to be submitted (Submit Now).  

 

Auto-submit:

 

Did you choose this option while completing the order?

If not, you will need to submit the order:

 

• Media Manager
• Find the SG code 
• Submit Now

 

Only QC & Ingest only, doesn’t send the spot anywhere except for QC.

 

 

Copying clock details: 

Duplicate this clock= copies the information entered to a new form
Using this function is handy if you want to send multiple spots to the same destination with different clock numbers.
