View ALL products across ALL accounts

Creative Admin is a comprehensive, tabular view of every single product on the Canoa platform

  • Customize views
  • Set sticky filters, arrange columns, and save views across the entire team
Within Creative Admin module on Canoa, there are tags and filters so you can customize your view.

  • Drill down & live edit
  • View each products details in line and in the sidebar
  • Make edits in the table cells, or in the side bar
  • Bulk actions like publish, remove, add to collection, archive, and share
  • Import & export
  • Users can now import bulk data independently of engineering
  • Users can export data from the platform, edit, analyze or reconfigure it, and upload it back to the platform without duplicating product
A pop-up window shows how you can import products manually or use a csv upload button.

🚀Customer Order (CPO) Enhancements

Reminder emails for approvals and payments!!

  • An approval reminder email will be sent every 3 calendar days to everyone included when the CPO was first sent
  • A payment reminder email will be sent every 5 calendar days to the person who clicked on the Approve button.

CPO Expiration Dates!!!

  • We will begin including expiration dates for CPOs in all email comms sent to customers via our CPO process including the new reminder emails.
  • CPOS will have a 15 calendar day expiration from the date that they were finalized and made live.
  • The CPO form will display an Expiration countdown pill that counts down the days remaining. (emails will do the same and also show the expiration date)
The header of a project in Canoa shows that the order will expire in 15 days.
