During the holidays we look forward to spending time with family, eating special meals, maybe even taking a wonderful vacation. It can also be a stressful time – the office may be short-staffed or busy with multiple commitments. There is enough to do without having to follow up with advertisers to make sure their ads get submitted on time.

We are here to help! You can set Deadline Exceptions or Publication Exceptions on the iPublish AdPortal ahead of time without affecting your standard deadlines. The person doing this needs to have Admin privileges so if that isn’t you, ask your internal AdPortal Admin for assistance. Below are step-by-step instructions to help you get started.

Deadline Exceptions (early or changed deadlines for a specific date):

  1. Have your admin login to your adportal
  2. Go to Admin > Publications
  3. Click on the publication name for which you want to add a deadline exception
  4. Click on the calendar icon next to Deadline Exceptions. On the calendar, click on the Deadline Date of the publication date for which you want to set an early deadline
  5. Enter in minutes how much to move the deadline back
  6. Repeat as needed for additional early deadlines
  7. Click the Submit button to save changes
