Submitting a decision on multiple proofs at once

  • Elissa August 2012

    Is there a way to make a decision on multiple proofs at once? I have about 100 proofs (due dates have long since passed) in the "Proofs to review" category and I'd like to clean that up. Opening each proof and manually selecting a decision would take me several hours.

    Is there any way to assign them all as "Decision not relevant" without opening each one?

    If this feature doesn't exists, I would like to request it. I'm often invited to review proofs as an FYI and before I know it they can really build up.

    Thanks!

    Elissa,

    Thank you for the message. Currently there is not a way to apply a decision across multiple proofs at once. I will add this as a feature request for you and update you on the status after we discuss this internally.

    In the meantime, if a formal decision is not required from you, it is best that you are added as either Read Only or Reviewer. This way, your decision does not hold up the overall approval process and will not be required.

    Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

    Regards,
    John Schuller

    Elissa,

    I wanted to give you an update on your feature request.

    We have added this request to our development roadmap. We do not have a release date set at this time. We will announce the release on our blog when it goes live: http://www.proofhq.com/html/blog/

    Thank you for the feedback and please let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,
    John

Search results include proof status?
Would it be possible to include the decision status of the proof in the search results, at present if you want to search for a proof and see its current decision you have to open it or click on the options and go to the proof detail page, which takes time if you just want to do a quick search and see the status
Proof Reminders
I'm unclear on the current functionality about automatic reminders. I've read some old posts that mention that reminders were disabled because they were spammy and then one post from about a year ago where some reminder functionality was going to be added back. What is the current status of reminders? I really liked the suggestion of reminders based on whether the file has or has not been opened. It looks like this was added to the roadmap but I don't see any evidence of reminders in the options. At a minimum, we need one of the following: -Default reminders set under preferences with reminders going out on a timeframe that we specify. -or- -Set a reminder schedule when the proof is made. -or- -Ability to select multiple proofs and send reminders in bulk. (i.e. not to need to click into each proof).
could Hourly summaries include new version info
Would it be possible for the hourly summaries to mention if a new version of the proof has been created within the past hour. As the proof created emails come whenever the proof is uploaded, people on hourly summaries will get this notification before they get the summary and they may miss that the new version has been created as there is no mention of it on the summary
Custom message in notification emails is very small
Is there a way to change the type size in the notification emails? Currently it is very small for custom comments being added on upload. Any default text is ok. Or is this an email program setting? Thanks.
Live Video Review
Wow, very impressed with proofhq's features so far. There is one major feature that is missing in my opinion that I have used in another solution, and that is the ability to host a live review session for video. During a live review, everyone with access should be able to go to the review and an option to start a "presentation mode" should be enabled. Once the presentation mode is started, the person who is the "presenter" controls the progression of the video, and the video everyone is viewing starts and stops in the same frame. This way, particularly with video, everyone can be looking at the same thing and discuss on a conference call.
