Buyer: How do I review an RFP using mapping?

Mapping from the RFP menu

Navigate to the RFP dashboard by clicking RFPs.





Find the desired RFP and click Map RFP under the Action column. A map displaying the proposed units marked 'In' will open with tools for reviewing the proposed inventory. You can find more information on these tools here.

Note: the Map action is also available from the compile proposal grid page under the +Actions menu.





Planning within the RFP Map

Mark Units In or Out

A mapped RFP allows units to be Marked In or Marked Out directly from the map, with In/Out changes reflected in RFP Compile.

Marking a unit or units 'Out' in the mapped RFP will also mark them 'Out' in the RFP Compile grid. If you accidentally mark a unit 'Out' on the mapped RFP, you can easily revert it back to 'In'. Simply click on the 'Locations' panel and select the 'Marked as Out' tab. This action will display all units currently marked Out. To mark a unit back In, click on its pin on the map, or find the unit in the Locations panel and choose the 'Mark In' option.



Mark Multiple Units In/Out at Once

Expand the upper right panel to filter the mapped units by Vendor or Format using the correlated tabs to easily narrow down the Locations list. You can then select multiple units from the list if you would like to mark all selections In or Out by Vendor or Format.

Deselect per Format to hide pins



In the Locations panel, check the box next to each unit you'd like to update, then click Mark Selected Out in the Action column header to mark all selected units Out and remove them from the list.

To mark several units back In, click the 'Locations' panel and select the 'Marked as Out' tab, check the box next to each unit you'd like to restore, then click Mark Selected In in the Action column header.







How to Display RFP/Contract Data in the Map

To access Display Settings, click on the drop down arrow in the top right of the page, then click on the 'Display' tab.





Expand the RFP/Contract Data section to include information such as # of Cycles, # of Units, Net Media Cost/Cycle, Discount %, and more, displayed along with the existing location and unit details. These will appear both in the unit's pop-up on the map and as columns in the Locations list at the bottom of the page.





Sharing a Mapped RFP

Mapped RFPs can be shared externally via a public link, meaning recipients do not need to have an account in DOmedia to access and interact with the map.

Click Share Map in the drop down menu in the top right of the page to copy the shareable link or email it directly from the system. You do have the ability to customize the recipient's view of the map using the Display settings for Sharing options.



Visit the Map menu to create maps with additional options, locations, or to map an entire campaign with multiple RFPs.
