Features and Benefits
Custom workflows
Easily define, map, edit and reconfigure workflows that adapt to your environments ever changing needs.
Pre-Planning
Ability to make assignments (layout, graphic and text) months in advance, giving you the ability to plan your publication, long before the layout is created. In addition writers and editors can actually write to fit before the layout process has been initiated.
Automation
Automated routing of assignments to an individual or a group, for an error free editorial flow.
Quark Product Integration
Seamless integration between the industry standard QuarkXPress page layout application and the QuarkCopyDesk text editor can handle the most demanding editorial workflows. This stellar combination allows for last second changes – if an ad drops, you can easily query all articles in the Dispatch Database to find a story of appropriate length for the layout. A copy editor can quickly write to fit the actual layout while the layout artist is completing the page. A quick click of the update content button and you’re off to production.
Administration
Define new projects, jobs and publications, print or web-based, each with their own defined workflow. These are features that enable sites to adapt more quickly to change, competitive threats and explore new avenues of revenue.
