The Status dropdown menu at the top of the Viewing and Commenting Panel shows the current status for the spread.
You can change the status of a spread by selecting a different status and save the change by using the Save Comments button.
Statuses are shown on the main job page and can be used for filtering. Status names and colours are set by an Admin User.
The Commented Only switch is under the Status bars at the top right of the Job Page.
Switch this to ON to view only spreads which have had comments added.
The commented filter can be combined with the Recently Changed and Status filters to pinpoint the spreads most needing your attention.
Use the Recently Changed filter below the status bars to filter the main view to only show spreads that have most recently changed in the last 1 hour, 3 hours, 1 day, 3 days or 7 days.
Combine with the status and Commented Only filters to quickly find just the spreads you are looking for.
In WORK mode, hovering over a thumbnail in the Job Page (or tapping on a touch screen device) reveals more information about that spread.
The Modified By info shows the name of the person who generated the current spread in InDesign.
The user's name is set through the command InDesign File Menu > User... (If no user name is set in InDesign, you are prompted to add one when first setting up MasterPlan desktop app).
The At info is a time stamp showing exactly the time and day that the spread was last modified. This info is auto added by the MasterPlan desktop app. The time zone used is a Client admin preference set by the Admin User.
The Status info shows, in words, the current status applied to the spread. The background colour used for the spread info is also related to the spread status.
A View and Comment button is shown at the bottom right when hovering over a spread thumbnail. Click this to view the spread to open the Viewing and Commenting panel.
Each spread of a MasterPlan WORK job has a colour coded status applied. Use your own agreed statuses to indicate the position of your spread in your workflow such as 'text editing' or 'proofed'.
Status bars at the top right of the MasterPlan WORK Job Page, and also on the Client Page, show the status name, colour and a total and percentage of spreads that have that status for the job.
The status labels and colours for a client can be altered by the Admin User using MasterPlan Online Admin.
Regarding altering a spread's status when commenting online, we plan to add the ability to do this when uploading from InDesign.
Retina quality thumbnails for each spread are displayed on the Job Page.
The spread number is shown in bottom left corner of each spread. The spread number is taken from the page name of the first page of the spread.
In WORK mode, other quick visual information is also added. A coloured line on the left of the thumbnail indicates its status.
An icon is displayed in the top right corner of every spread thumbnail which has one or more comments added. The icon indicates the last comment added.
