April Releases

We are excited to announce the latest updates to our platform! This release includes a refreshed landing page experience, improvements to custom fields usability, and a new notification flag for booked assets. These updates make it easier to navigate, customise, and manage your operations with confidence.

1. New Landing Page Experience

Environments: All

Users will now arrive at a redesigned home page when logging into Colateral, making it easier to navigate based on the tasks they need to complete.

Quick links provide direct access to:

• Campaign Builder

• Location Profiler

• Asset Availability (retail media clients only)

• Artwork Briefs

• Insights

• User Activity History

• Location Lists

Additional links offer quick access to book a demo, view feature release notes, and visit our LinkedIn page.

The new landing page will be rolled out gradually, client by client.

2. Asset Reservation & Competitive Booking

Environments: 3.0

Users can now reserve assets before finalising a booking, allowing multiple booking forms to be created for the same asset.

• Reserved bookings are marked with the status "Reserved".

• When one booking is confirmed (status changes to "Booked"), any competing bookings for the same asset will lose access to that asset.

• A notification label will appear on affected booking forms to indicate the asset is no longer available.

• Asset status and booking form status are now connected, allowing users to easily filter and manage their bookings based on availability and current status.

The video demonstrates two separate bookings reserving the same asset. When the first booking is confirmed (status changes from "Reserved" to "Booked"), the asset becomes unavailable in the second booking.
