✅ Search by send out type

We've introduced a powerful enhancement to Samples, designed to streamline and accelerate your user experience. Now, you can optimize your search process by utilizing the newly added Send Out Type filter in both the Send Out Manager and Send Out Report

This multi-select feature incorporates all possible delivery types, conveniently using aliases that you can reference during the creation of a Send Out. 

The Send Out Type filter has been seamlessly integrated into search results and exports within the Send Out Manager and Send Out Report, allowing you to precisely focus your searches on specific send out types. 

Additionally, we've expanded the functionality of our API by incorporating deliveryType as a search filter, ensuring that you can leverage key values stored in the database for accurate and comprehensive results. 

This update is all about empowering you with a more efficient and tailored search experience within our software.

 

✅ Improved suggestions & search for placements

Exciting news in Launchmetrics for Samples—our enhanced Manual Search for Placements brings a refined experience to your fingertips while Linking placements to your send outs

The non-precise lookup, or manual search, now allows you to effortlessly explore placements using keywords like the model/celeb, photographer's last name, editor's last name, and hashtags, with the flexibility of targeting either the target voice OR each of the keywords. 

On the other hand, our Placement Suggestion feature introduces a nuanced approach. It considers the presence of linked target voices in your send-out, employing a search logic of AND between the Target Voice AND all the keywords. In cases where a voice is absent, it seamlessly adjusts to Publication AND all other keywords. 

This improvement ensures a tailored and efficient search experience, distinguishing between manual exploration and placement suggestions while removing the extra noise of un-related placements. 

🐞 Fix the error message when creating send-outs

When creating Gateway send out with a lot of samples, the system would show a "Send out has been modified from a different device." error message when users proceed to step 2. This was due to a long processing time on our end and has been fixed.
