"A powerful tool for tracking artwork submission and approvals."
Comments: I can see what my jobs are and importantly what their job numbers are so I can track the artwork down from the server. I can also find relevant material to a job assuming the client has remembered to upload anything.
Pros:
1. You can see where all your current jobs are, what their job numbers are and if they have been reviewed and or approved.
2. The preview is fast.
3. Great for tracking progression of a job.
4. The Admation team bring out regular improvements to the software.
Cons:
1. It involves too many steps to upload a single piece of artwork.
2. It generates a different job number for every element of a campaign, if you have 60 pieces of artwork you have 60 different job numbers for one campaign. Surely the description of the file dictates the difference without the need for seperate job numbers.
3. Overly complicated at times.
4. Markups to PDF's are very messy. Shame it doesn't use Acrobat to markup.

"Admation is excellent for retrieving old work but terrible for it's job numbering system"
Comments: It's got better but still takes a lot of steps to carry out a simple upload, it logs you out to quickly and and it doesn't save PDF's but rather jpegs of PDF's for markups so you cannot read fine detail like the previous job number on a piece of artwork.
Pros: I can see all the jobs I have worked on over several years.
Cons: The job numbers should be alpha numeric, they number by itself is close to useless.

Hi there,
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear you've been enjoying the recent improvements to the system. I'll have a chat to our UX team about ironing out a few of those extra steps with artwork uploads.
There have been a few requests around PDF document functionality for deliverables containing lots of copy, so I'll add your requests into this particular task for review.
Your feedback's been really helpful! If there's anything else you'd like to suggest, please don't hesitate to email your thoughts through to [email protected]!
Happy Productivity!

"Admation works well when it works"
Comments: When admation works and I fully understand all the tips and tricks, it works really well and makes our process a lot easier. However, it does take a lot of training to adjust to the interface and figure out how every task works.
Pros: The feedback mode and direct chain from client to suit to studio is the best part of the software.
Cons: The interface is very buggy. On multiple occasions, the site has crashed at pivotal moments i.e. when you mark up 50 changes and then hit changes, suddenly a little bee illustrations pops up on your screen saying there's an error. The interface isn't very user friendly as there are multiple steps for a basic tasks. One of the least favourable things is not having the ability to batch download a project. A lot of our clients struggle with the interface as some of the mark up tools aren't familiar enough (they're used to marking up Adobe PDFs) and the user journey is a bit flawed (i.e. click changes after entering feedback).

I've passed your usability suggestions onto the UX team for review, and we'll see if we can iron out a few of those extra steps for you.
Your feature request on batch downloading projects has been noted.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to assist you!
Best wishes,
Samantha

"Great for managing assets"
Pros: Managing tons of artworks and assets was a breeze with this system. Having an approval and audit system made it a lot easier in keeping track of which assets need revisions and which ones are approved.
Cons: UX could be improved when it comes to the speed and responsiveness of the site. As projects keep adding more deliverables, it takes longer for the system to index and load. Messaging system could use some work as well as it's still a bit clunky (e.g. adding recipients, forwarding messages, etc.)

"Still needs a few tweaks"
Comments: Overall it's fine, but a few tweaks to the way the software operates will help it be a more seamless experience.
Pros: Great for transparency across colleague's work and their obligation on certain tasks
Cons: You can't click back without the page messing up. Sometimes colleague feedback is overwhelming and you can't really tell the order that it's in.

Hi Anna,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm glad that you're enjoying the additional transparency around providing feedback.
There's an option in the system to Download a PDF report with feedback that's numbered in order. The button to download the PDF is found just above any existing comments on the right hand side of your approvals screen. Let me know if that's an easier way to view feedback in the system! If you require any additional support, please don't hesitate to email [email protected] for assistance!
Happy Productivity!
