Most of the time we are focused on a single Customer and their Project. However it is not uncommon that a site will have many Customers going to a single SHOW. Think about sending three clients to CES 2012. (I know that sounds pretty good.)
In the circumstance above, there are real advantages to sharing specific data values across all of these Projects and having the ability to roll-up all of that data; like the Pick-Lists to give to the shop, all of the shipping requirement so you can merge shipments and of course passing all the Packing lists to your EAC set-up partner.
Here are those new reports I just discussed. They all have the word SHOW in them. They look just like their original Project versions. You will need to add to the appropriate Roles for your site.
On the Create a Project Screen you’ll find two new entries.
You can select an Exiting Show. If you don’t see the Show you want you can use Add/Edit Show to Add a new Show or Edit an existing one.
When you select a Show it will default into the Project’s name. You can edit if you wish.
When you select a Show it will default into the Project’s name. You can edit if you wish.
If you elect to Add a new Show it only takes two required values.
You can choose to add additional information like the Facility and Open and Close dates. This is a version 1 release. Over the coming months more data fields will be added and some additional reporting will be added.
Keep in mind all data copy overs are one time, one way only. If edits are made to a Show, it will not update a Project that is already associated to the Show. You can return to the Project’s edit information screen, deselect the Show and then re-select the Show to update. However if you have made specific edits to any of the values that are copying over it will overwrite those changes as well. There are alert statements to warn you regarding your choices.
Note: And yes in the near future you will be able to Copy Shows forward.
