If what you rent to advertisers is a hoarding, an LED truck or a screen in a mall, this platform has always let you list it — and then asked you for a username and a profile URL. This release makes the form fit what you actually own. Alongside it: pictures you upload now go where you put them, and the password rules finally say what they are before you get them wrong.
List a truck, a hoarding or a screen — not a "channel"
Adding a property offered DOOH from day one, but the form behind it was written for a social account. It asked for a Handle / Username, insisted on a Profile URL that does not exist for a physical asset, and offered an engagement rate a billboard cannot have. The one field that matters most to a buyer — the city — was optional.
The form now changes with what you pick:
- Asset name / unit ID instead of a handle. "LED Truck — MH01 AB 1234" is a name; "yourhandle" is not.
- No profile URL required. A photo or map link if you have one; your photos belong in Sample Work either way.
- The city is required , because it is the first thing anyone buying outdoor filters on.
- A placement block for what the advertiser is really buying: size, whether it is lit after dark, the route or junction it covers, and how many days a week it runs.
- Numbers that mean something — estimated daily impressions and average impressions per run, instead of followers and an engagement rate.
The same applies to websites, newsletters, podcasts and WhatsApp groups: each now asks for what it has and calls the count what it is — subscribers, members or visitors, rather than "followers" everywhere.
Crop your profile picture instead of hoping
Uploading a profile picture, a cover image or a workspace logo saved the file and then squeezed the middle of it into the frame. If your face was not dead centre, you got a circle of your shoulder, and the only fix was to crop the file somewhere else and upload it again.
Now the picture opens in a frame first. Drag it where you want it, zoom to fit, save. What you see in the frame is exactly what gets saved — profile pictures square, cover images at the wide shape your public page actually uses.
The password rules, before you break them
The rules were printed in the box as grey placeholder text, which vanished the moment you started typing, and then arrived one at a time: fix the capital letter, submit, learn about the number.
They are now a checklist under the field that ticks off as you type — length, a capital, a number, and a special character, with the exact list of symbols that count. That last one matters more than it sounds: ~ and / are not accepted, so a password most people would call strong was being rejected by a message that never said why.
This was also the only place the rules were right. Resetting a forgotten password accepted an eight-character password and then had it thrown back by the server, and the sub-account form said something different again. All four screens now agree with each other and with what is actually enforced.
Smaller things
- Line item status is legible again. On a campaign page every slot's status chip rendered the same grey, so work waiting on your review looked identical to a draft. Statuses are now colour-coded and sit beside the name instead of at the far end of the row, and a slot you sent back for changes says revision requested rather than "rejected" — the work is not dead, it is with the creator.
- "No one" is now "Assign manually". On a line item's Open to choice, the third option named who it excludes rather than what you are doing. Picking it reserves the slot for someone you choose yourself.
