Getting started with Projects

The projects module is where working files are kept, within the separate projects that they are needed for, these can be shared with your work group so that you can collaborate on them. From within a project you can save all the versions you have of a file submit new versions for approval, annotate photos and videos for clear feedback and also store supporting documentation such as scripts and other planning documents. When the files have had final stage approval, you can send them to the Library Module for easy retrieval later.

Accessing Projects and views

When logged into the platform you can see all the A5 modules available to you in the bar at the top of the screen. When you click on the Projects one you’ll then see a list of all the Projects you are a part of with additional details such as the advertiser the project is related to and the Project creator. 

You can filter the views to only show projects relevant to you now using the filters bar.

Using the dropdown lists you can choose which projects you see based on: what media type, which products, from which BU and whether or not the Project has been published. Clicking the filters icon allows you to filter based on certain columns by clicking on any of the column titles with the filter icon on them. The settings dropdown allows you to customise the columns you see.

Project Overview Tab

When you open a project you’ll be presented with the Overview at the top there are tabs to different views of the project Files, Team, Approvals and Shares.

The overview gives you information about the activity within the project, the folders with your files in and the key project details.

From the top of the project overview you can publish and unpublish using the button as well as edit the Project information and delete the project.

The Projects Module is powerful collaboration tool, see A5 Projects for more articles.
