Tick off amendments as they are completed

  • Robert August 2012

    As a designer, I think it would be really useful to have some way to view all amendments and tick them off as you have completed them.

    Often we will upload a long document for proofing, and the client will then leave 100+ comments about things like commas and punctuation. Sitting and making those changes is a bit tricky to follow - if there was perhaps some kind of "Designer Mode" which added a tickbox every amendment and you could just tick them off. The client doesn't even have to see the ticks - they would just be a useful tool for designers.

    I think ProofHQ is great either way and I love it - this is just one little thing that I think would make it even better! :-)

    Alice,

    Thank you for the message and explanation of what you are looking for.

    Our recommendation is to use "Actions on Comments". This will allow you to not only assign follow up actions on your comments for easy filtering and assignment, but will also allow you to apply an action such as "Complete" or "Done".

    More information on how to utilize Actions on Comments can be found in this help article: http://help.proofhq.com/comments#TOC-Using-actions-on-comments

    Please let us know if you have any questions on this functionality.

    Regards,
    John Schuller

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.
