What is the Media Order module?

The Media Order is a separately licensed module, that works in tandem with the Media Library, providing Users and clients with the ability to compile and create ‘basket based’ Media Orders from Material within the Media Libraries.

Key features:
  • Compile duplication Orders of material in the Media Libraries
  • Track, maintain and manage the status of orders
  • Receive notification on media order status updates
  • Dynamic cost analyses
  • Track costs and stock usage
  • View and print reports including duplication orders


Click on the Media Order icon in the Toolbox to reveal any Media Orders. Select to view either Pending, Done or Invoiced, Archived Media Orders or Media Orders that are still Drafts. Use the search field to retrieve a particular Order.


Get at a quick glance of deadlines as well whether a Media Order is Urgent. Display the Client of the Media Order, see who this Media Order is assigned to, and who the owner is. Do this by editing the Display via the black drop down menu > Display.

Pending Media Orders will also appear in the Calendar view, where they can be easily accessed through a single mouse click. See how to create a new Media Order on how to set a Deadline.


To modify an Order, click on the Order on the list and modify the details as required.


To select various rows at once, click on one row, hold the CTRL-key or cmd-key and select further rows. To select more than one row in a row, click on the first one, hold the SHIFT-key and click on the last row that should be select. Automatically the rows in between get also selected.
