With minimal training, start to place, move and adjust display advertising layouts (print & tablet) with ease.
QuickLayout accepts display advertisements in a range of formats (Automated booking service API, XML, ADS or custom import) and paginates a publication quickly ready to integrate with a desktop publishing package such as Adobe InDesign, Roxen Editorial Portal or your existing editorial system.
Advertising data is collated & used to distribute advertisements across pages according to publication requirements, press configuration, advertisement requirements and priority.
QuickLayout then positions these advertisements on appropriate pages and sections.
Hundreds of advertisements can be automatically paginated from import to save time and extend your production deadlines.
Pagination is controlled by a fast, customisable AI based algorithm that distributes advertisements across the publication. With added flexibility, QuickLayout enables managers to select and order advertisements to specific requirements.
QuickLayout's pagination tools allow for easy application of Special Position requests (preferred & premium positions), Press imposition schemes, Folio schemes, Section stacking & Directional bias.
Facing pages, Double page spreads, Zones, Series ads, On hold and Tentative ads, Editorial content and Specialist house ads, are just a few more types of pages and ads handled by the pagination tools.
QuickLayout is designed to drop into the middle of the production flow and be integrated with any Booking System and any Editorial System. Seamless integration allows pre-press to continue to flow without fuss and allow Advertising, Production & Editorial to never miss a beat. When your Layout is ready to go simply "Release to Editorial" and you Layout will be created in the Editorial System.
... and of course, QuickLayout comes with a full support package including technical training and updates to make you feel loved.
