Targeting Ads In The Mobile App
You now have the ability to target the mobile app as an individual property when creating or editing an ad - so you now have the power to exclude or include ads in the app as you see fit.
What types of ads are supported on the app?
- 1/4-page Featured Event Ads
- 1/2-page Featured Event Ads
- Top Right Brand Ads
- Middle Listings Brand Ads
What types of ads are not supported on the app?
- Full page Featured Event Ads
- Leaderboard Brand Ads
- Featured Venue Widgets
- Featured User Widgets
Please note: All of your current active ads that are supported in the app are currently live in the app.
If you would like to exclude any ad from the app, please uncheck the 'Mobile App' option within that ad's page in Radmin. Going forward, the app will only display ads that have the 'Mobile App' option checked - and this option will be checked by default during ad setup.
For launch, we recommend excluding ALL ads except for your launch partners for the first two months. Then, adding your regular partners back in. Make sure they all are fully aware of the new value they are receiving. You should also use this as an opportunity to increase rates for 2016.
We recommend that you ask any full-page advertisers for additional half-page editions of their ads for display in the app. You can then upload two separate ads for each full-page Featured Event campaign: one full-page ad for display on the site and then one half-page ad for display in the app.
Once we deploy the new search UI, you'll be able to click on the "Beta Search" links within Events, Artists, Venues or People in Radmin (coming soon!) to use the new type-ahead format.

New Search
Over the next few days, we will begin the process of connecting Radmin with our new, type-ahead Algolia-powered search. The old search UI will stick around for a bit while we work out the kinks with the new format - but it will ultimately be phased out in favor of the new lightning-quick type-ahead system.Once we deploy the new search UI, you'll be able to click on the "Beta Search" links within Events, Artists, Venues or People in Radmin (coming soon!) to use the new type-ahead format.
We're beyond stoked to place the new Radmin search system into your hands. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Venue Imports
We added fields for 'Image,' 'Hours' and 'Facebook URL' to the importable venue spreadsheets. Need to create a long list of new venues? Make a copy of our importable venue spreadsheet, have your intern(s) fill it out, then send the completed sheet to support@dostuffmedia.com. We'll import the sheet directly to Radmin and automatically create the venues for you.
A Note about Notifications
Many of you have asked about notifications on the app. Currently, we are asking new app users whether or not they would like to receive notifications about events, artists and places in their area. However, we have no immediate plans to send notifications via the app - nor will we implement any notifications without involving your metro in the conversation.
Collecting these preferences during sign-up is easier than doing so at a later date - so we're collecting this information now with plans to revisit this topic later in the fall.

Tip of the Week
Have an event, user, venue or artist that you can see on the front end - but can't find through Radmin search? You can always navigate directly to the desired Radmin page by locating the page's unique system ID through the front end. Here's how you do it, using an event as an example:
- Navigate to the desired page on the front end of the site.
- Append ".json" to the page's URL
- Locate the "id" near the top of the page
- Append that ID to "http://radmin.dostuffmedia.com/events/" to locate your event.
- "http://radmin.dostuffmedia.com/artists/" for artists
- "http://radmin.dostuffmedia.com/venues/" for venues
- "http://radmin.dostuffmedia.com/users/" for people
