Searching for businesses in the ad reports part of statistics
There needs to be an easier way of searching or finding the businesses when trying to set up a business report by position in the statistics admin. The businesses are just listed in the order they've had ads run and it makes it hard to find a business. If it was to sort alphabetically or even better be able to type into the search box it would be a big help.

Businesses submitting calendar events
It would be great if when a business was submitting a calendar event they could link their business listing to it, or otherwise have it connect.

You've probably heard of the Heartbleed bug. It's a nasty OpenSSL vulnerability that can allow attackers to snoop on communications, steal data and impersonate users. (Visit Heartbleed.com for more information.)
TownNews.com partners can rest easy. We're happy to report that our network, and all sites hosted with us, are protected from this vulnerability.

Is there a custom property that allows you to redirect one article asset to another?
I thought I'd seen it in one of the "Pro Tips" webinars, but I can't make it work and I can no longer find those webinars on the site.
Thanks!

Does anyone have any good examples of using "geolocations" on their site?

Create a new contest application that allows customers to create new contests such as: Best of the Region, Cute Baby Contest, Best City, etc. It could tie into the Business Directory as a great addition to that product.

Subscription Transactions
Why do subscription transactions not get listed with other subscriptions (marketplace/subscriptions program)
I had to finally tell our accounting department (and give them access) to use the analytics program to verify revenue for subscriptions. I have a funny feeling the same will be true when we fully turn Ad-Owl on as well.

Persons Asset
One of the projects that I have on my list is a reference guide for medical professionals and health care facilities. The health care facilities are easily done by using your business directory.
After using the election stats program I was thinking that a similar asset for people would be handy to display contact information and other relevant information about the person. (I do not want our business directory filled with non-businesses)

Macros in TCMS using Chrome (or Firefox)
When creating stories and adding photos (that is, working with "Article" and "Image") there are an enormous number of repetitive clicks. For example, in an "Image" asset you click a button to add an image which shows a popup to click to get to the "Browse" dialog, which pops up across the screen from the first button ...)
Being able to use some basic macros, as in Excel, to get from A to B would save a great deal of time and go easier on everyone's wrists and arms.
Is anyone using a macro program on Macintosh successfully? I've tried OSX Automator but it is not giving me results.

Is there a way to search for assets with a start date of "today," such that you can save a search called "Today's stories" or something similar without having to change the date each day? If it's there, I'm just not seeing it. Thanks!
