Frequently Asked Questions

What developments are coming in the next release?
The biggest thing will be the ability to produce one invoice across different magazines. Currently, each magazine generates its own invoice.
You will be able to change the customer group that your advertisers are in, so if you send all "Prospects not contacted" a letter, you can change them to be "Prospects need follow up"
Business Sector. You will be able to add a new sector directly from the advertiser screen.
 
 
 
 
How do you maintain security?
In line with most modern packages, we do check that people are registered users. Each time you start using Magazine Manager, it checks with us that you are a registered user by sending us some information: your Magazine Name, User ID and computer name. This is validated against a list and access is granted accordingly. This means that you will need to have internet access to use Magazine Manager, though you can log on 5 times without having access. The 6th time, you will be denied access. We do not like to have to do this but we are a business and do have to protect ourselves.
 
How much data entry is needed?
You need to enter your customer information. The minimum is name and company. Adding e-mail addresses allows you to send comfirmations of booked adverts at the touch of a button.
Addresses are need for invoicing.
If you have a lot of these, we can upload your spreadsheet for £30+VAT.

Once this information is in, to book an advert, you enter the type of advert (e.g. 1/4 page colour), how long it runs for and the first issue month. This is used to everything else:confimrations, invoicing, reports on your magazines progress etc.
So the answer is not very much, once you have the basic information set up.
