Idea Evaluation Schedule (Pre-Contract) – explained

This schedule is designed to report all projects awaiting approval/commitment and forms an integral part of weekly production meeting. Once a project is signed off, the project will drop-off this report and migrates to the Production Tracking (Post Contract). If required, we can setup the system to only allow senior management to sign off projects.

Idea Rejected Schedule – explained

Reports rejected or dormant projects. This is particularly useful for highlighting repeat proposals from the same author or where a project may suddenly become relevant, after an initial rejection.

Production Tracking (Post Contract)

It reports all projects in production, that is, work-in-progress (WIP) titles. Once a project is marked as published, it automatically drops-off this report.

Production Schedule – Showing Forthcoming and Overdue Tasks

This is a simple report for outputting forthcoming and overdue tasks per month and across all titles.
