Pickup From an Existing Ad
There are two mechanisms for picking up an ad which serve different needs:
•In-Line Pickup during Submission -- which lets you supply pickup information while submitting to the new ad.
•Pickup From Existing Order -- which lets you highlight the old ad and send it to the new ad.
In-Line Pickup during Submission
If you would like to supply the pickup information during the submission of the new ad, you should use the In-Line Pickup During Submission. You do this by selecting the new order and clicking the SUBMIT FILES button.
If you check the "No changes required" box, then the ad will be automatically picked up and sent out directly.
If you do NOT check the "No changes required" box, then this will be considered a PICKUP WITH CHANGES and you will be able to specify the changes you would like.
For some users, it is more logical to search for the OLD ad and request a pickup to the new order.
*Unless you have a reason to use this method, it is more advisable to use the In-Line Pickup during Submission. Pickup From Existing Order is left for backward compatibility.*
With the old ad selected, clicking the PICKUP button allows you to pickup this ad and copy it into another order. You can either copy this ad as a Pickup with Changes or a Straight Pickup (no changes).
IMPORTANT NOTE: You should use this button when you have the ad selected that you wish to copy from -- not the ad you wish to copy to.
Simply type in the TARGET ad that you would like to overwrite and copy the contents of the currently selected ad into.
Once a few characters have been typed, you can optionally use the pulldown control to select from available ad numbers. This control will not show any results until at least three characters have been typed from the target ad number.
If this ad is a Straight Pickup WITHOUT the need for any changes, do not tick the "This pickup requires changes" box.
If this ad is a Pickup with Changes, ticking the "This pickup requires changes" box will cause a proof to be sent to you that you can markup for corrections. Depending on your organization, this pickup process could take 10 to 15 minutes.
Once you've selected the target ad, be sure to click SUBMIT to process the pickup.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A pickup is only allowed when an ad is complete and in certain statuses like DONE. If you attempt to pickup an ad that is mid-production, the pickup will not process until the source ad is approved and in DONE status. Your organization may allow other source ad statuses as well.
Depending on your organization's configuration, once your pickup has been processed, it will generate a new proof. For details on how to act on this proof, please review "Reviewing Ad Proofs".
