Static Inventory Page

Broadsign Direct's static inventory page displays a list of all non-digital advertising faces on your network. You can filter, sort, and view your static inventory in list view or map view.

Tip: If you are creating or editing a proposal item from the Proposal Builder, the static inventory modal window that is displayed has very similar functionality to the Static Inventory page. See Select Faces Manually.

Once you filter and sort your faces, you can perform a few tasks:

Create specialized proposals containing faces selected "à la carte". See Access the Proposal Builder and Proposal Builder.
Build packages that your sales team can target at a later time. See Package Builder.

The Filter Panel

The filter panel enables you to narrow down your static inventory. As a result, you can better match your clients' requirements when building packages (see About Packages) or creating proposals (see About Proposals).

Filter Panel Sections

Section	Description
	Enter part (or all) of a face name. Press Enter or click away from the box to apply the filter.
	Use the Upload link to access a window where you will be able to use a list of faces as a filter. Check the Filter imported list option to apply the filter. For more information, see Filter the Inventory List Using an Imported List of Faces.
	Type or select a criterion. For more information, see Search Screens by Criteria.
	Upload a `.csv` file containing points of interest (for example, landmarks, well-known buildings, etc.). For more information, see About Points of Interest.
	Enter part (or all) of an address, and then select one from the list that appears. If the address applies to more than one face, they will appear as one option (for example, “United States”).
	Click the Format box to reveal the list of available formats (for example, billboard, poster, scroller).
	Select Hide unavailable screens to immediately narrow your face list to only those that are available. Note: This feature works within the date range you set in the Flight Duration selector. See The Flight Duration Selector.
	Select Hide screens not yet deployed to immediately narrow your face list to only those that you have deployed. For example, with this filter you could hide faces that are still under construction.

The Flight Duration Selector

With the flight duration selector, you can specify time range. With this setting, Broadsign Direct calculates the availability of the faces in your narrowed list (i.e., the fill rate).

When you click on the date box, the calendar dialogue box appears:

Calendar Sections

Section	Description
	Enter or select the start date of the date range you want to use to calculate face availability.
	Enter or select the end date of the date range you want to use to calculate face availability.
	Displays the duration of your selected ad flight, in days.
	To cancel the settings you have entered, click Cancel. To save your changes and apply them to the face inventory, click Apply.

Your Static Inventory - List View

The face inventory in list view displays a list of all faces on your network. You can narrow the list using the filter panel (see The Filter Panel).

Also, each face has an information card showing details of that particular screen. Your Admin can associate an image with the screen (see Quick Setup).

Note: If you apply filters to your faces while in List View, and then select Map View, the same filters apply. In other words, those faces that appear in List View will also appear in Map View.

Static Inventory - List View - Components

Column	Description
Name	The face’s name. Assigned by your scheduling team. See Submit your Company Information to Broadsign. If you click the face icon or the face name, its information sheet appears. If you have the Admin role, you can assign an image to the screen. See User Privileges by Role.
Address	The physical address of the face. Entered by your scheduling team. For more information, see Submit your Company Information to Broadsign.
Availability	Within the limits of the flight duration details you entered, indicates the percentage of availability for package or proposal creation: Green: The face is fully available to book. Amber: The face is partially available to book. Red: The face is unavailable to book. Note: It is possible for a face to exist in your inventory, but be down for construction, for example.
Slot	Indicates the number of slots available for the selected flight duration. Slots must be fully available to be counted. For example, given a two-week flight duration, if there is no availability during the first week and one static face (slot) is available in the second week, the Slot value will be 0 even if there is partial availability in the Availability column.
Fill Rate	Indicates the fill rate, in percentage terms, of the face for the flight duration you set. If you click the fill rate percentage, a dialogue box opens with a list of the proposals that your network has built including the face. For more information, see Screen Availability.
Impression	Provides a ratio of filtered impressions to total impressions. Recall that the audience filter in the Filter Panel sorts the face inventory (that is, it does not filter). Matching filter: Targeted demographic (that is, age and gender) Total Impression: Total impressions that the sorted faces can provide
Format	Indicates the face's format (for example, billboard, poster or scroller).
Selection	Indicates whether you have selected the face from the filtered list. Selected faces will appear in the Package Builder or Proposal Builder if you open them from the Static Inventory page (see The Summary Panel).

Your Static Inventory - Map View

The static inventory in map view displays the locations of your faces on a map. If you have yet to narrow down your list, all faces in your inventory will appear. As you apply filters or select individual faces, those faces remaining will appear.

Note: If you apply filters to your faces while in Map View, and then select List View, the same filters apply. In other words, those faces that appear in Map View will also appear in List View.

Note: Broadsign Direct integrates with Google Maps APIs and uses its UI controls.
