NDS Update
What You Need to Know AND/OR What You Forgot You Knew...
Gray Reporting NOW DUE!
Just a friendly reminder that our report for the first quarter of our license is now due along with the next minimum payment. Please make sure Harriett Mathis receives all your Gray info for June, July and August - harriett@newsdataservice.com.
Good Question About Gray Clip Sales
Mark Kraft from Columbus News Clips asked a good question recently so I wanted to pass along this point of clarification. Our Gray license does require we charge no more than $99 for clips where the client was referred by Gray. This maximum charge does NOT apply to any other clients, though - just those referred by Gray.
Did You Know? Helpful Hints and Reminders for NDSers
Indexed Portal Reports
Just a reminder about this cool feature in the portal that allows you to create reports broken out by category/folder name. The hits show up on your report in the order you select them. And, don't forget you can easily customize the header image for reports and the Public Newsroom, often by using images right from the web, as in the example here.
Logging Content in Another Affiliate's Market
If an affiliate needs something logged in one of your markets, you can enable logging under Maintenance > Logging. Once the affiliate is done logging, you can turn it off or leave them enabled for future logging.
Preview Video But No CC? Log It!
Did you know you can make Preview available even when there's not CC text? Go to Support > Search Knowledge Base and enter the search string "no cc text" and see the entry from 9/4/15 for detailed instructions (thanks to David Lasker).

Some Final Thoughts
I wanted to let everyone know that Doug Funk's father passed away yesterday morning. We appreciate your patience with NDS Support over the next few days. Our thoughts are with Doug and his family during this time.
I realized while talking with an affiliate yesterday that I neglected to mark my 30th anniversary in this industry! On 9/1/85, I opened VideoFile in Cleveland, Ohio. As with most people who've been around a long time, I've had several comings and goings over the last three decades (including 3 different last names!) but I'm a news junkie at heart, as I know many of you are, so I guess this business is just in my blood. Thanks to those of you who have put up with me for 30 years - I guess you're stuck with me now!
Hope everyone has a safe, happy and LONG Labor Day weekend!
