Your editorial calendar tracking days are over! Part Two

In yesterday’s post I wrote about the user interface of editorial calendar service MyEdcals.com. Today I’m going to provide some more insight on what happens after you hit “Search”.

The big moment
So you’ve entered your criteria and you’ve hit search. Click the screenshot to the right to get a look at what happens next: A nice, clean list of results, 25 at a time, with some of the basic detail you need — publication name, editorial calendar item, issue date and deadline date. Excellent.

I’m particularly fond of the tabs that let you sort the view between edcals, outlets, and contacts. The only thing that would make this all better is if MyEdcals gave us the option to customize the columns — I for one prefer to have all information right up front, so I’d like to see contact names listed — for example, or circulation figures.

Another point in favor is that the database of opportunities is a big one — I wasn’t disappointed with the volume or quality of the results.
