Graphics Table

The Graphics Table is a useful tool for your creative team to stay organized. You can access it by going to your production, then the Graphics tab, and then click Graphics Table.

The Progress Bars at the top allow real-time tracking of the percentage of graphics Ready to Create, Previews Uploaded, and Approved. This ensures you are 100% ready for your production.

Filtering by session

You can filter by Session to see progress and graphics cued in each Session. The Progress Bars and list of graphics will adjust automatically to reflect the data in your selected session.

Content

The Content column refers to the graphic Title, Subtitle, Body, and Extra text fields.

Cues

The Cues column refers to the number of times a graphic is cued in the production. If this is zero, the entire row will be grayed out to indicate that it might not be needed.

Notes

The Note column refers to if a Creative Note has been left. To view a Creative Note from the graphics table, hover over the note icon with your cursor.

Assigned To

The Assigned To column, represented by an avatar icon, refers to if the graphic is assigned to a team member. For example, if a team member is in charge of creating or gathering assets for a graphic.

Ready to Create

The Ready to Create column, represented by a circled check-mark, refers to whether the graphic is read to be created by your creative team.

A Green Check Mark indicates the graphic is ready, while a Red Exclamation Mark icon indicates it is not yet ready to be created. If you have permission to edit graphics, you can change the Ready to Create status by clicking in this column, or checking the box in the graphic’s Edit page.

Preview

The Preview Posted column, represented by an image icon, represents if a preview of the graphic has been uploaded. If there is a preview, a Green Checkmark icon appears.

If the preview has not been posted, the column will appear blank. Hovering over the Green Checkmark icon will show you the most recently uploaded preview.

Approved

The Approved column, represented by a heart icon, refers to whether a graphic has been approved or not.

A Green Checkmark icon indicates the graphic is approved, a Red X icon means Feedback was left on the graphic, and a blank space indicates that the graphic has not yet been reviewed.

Hovering over a Red X icon will let you view the Feedback that was left.

Edit

At the end of each row is a Pencil and Paper icon that lets you edit individual graphics. Clicking it will take you to the graphic’s Edit page.
