Digital magazines

Set up and manage digital magazines.

A user with Production rights can access the digital magazines in the navigation column under Channels >>> Digital.

Navigating the interface

In the top half of the window you can access buttons (red box) for editing, deleting, searching and creating new digital channels.

In the lower half of the window you can find information related to the specific digital channel selected. The related information is presented under the various tabs (green box).

Searching for a specific digital channel to manage

To bring up the search form and navigate among your digital magazines, click the grey Search button in the upper half of the window.

The search form will automatically display all the digital channels you have created. In the example above there's only one channel, but in case you have many channels you can use the filters (red box) to find the channel you want to work with. Typically you would type the first letters of the channel in the Name field. You can also use the radio button filters (green box) on the bottom right to find deleted channels.

When you have found the channel you want to work with, double-click the selected line in the search form or click the View details button. This will bring up the channel.

Editing a digital channel

To display and edit the top-level details of the channel, click the orange Edit button button in the upper half of the window.

You can now edit the name of the channel along with the basic details that defines it, who's responsible for it, sizing, pricing and default deadlines. You can also upload an image that will display on proposals when you add inventory to your offer.

For digital it's specifically worth mentioning that there are no field for size or number of pages in this form. This is because in its nature, the digital magazine is not bound by size in the same way as a print magazine. In RunMags a digital magazine is not simply a replica PDF of the print magazine. Rather, the ad inventory is completely separate and the content and publishing rhythm can very different from the print magazine.

When you're ready, click the green Save button.

Creating a new digital channel

To create a new digital channel, click the green New button button in the upper half of the window.

You can now enter the name of the channel along with the basic details that defines it, who's responsible for it, sizing, pricing and default deadlines. You can also upload an image that will display on proposals when you add inventory to your offer.

When you're ready, click the green Save button.
