Activity Listings in the magazine

To view your existing Listings, click on ALL ITEMS and then click on the word LISTINGS.

The number that appears on the far side of this button displays how many Listings you have in various WhatToDo publications.

These Listings may currently be approved (displayed with a check mark in a green box) or unapproved (displayed with an exclamation point in a red box) by your business. To appear in the guidebook when it goes to print, your listing MUST be approved. NO UNAPPROVED LISTINGS WILL BE PRINTED.

Your job now is to approve any unapproved listings. You do this by clicking the Edit button that appears in the far left column. Please review all your information and if it’s correct, click the “Approve” button. If changes are needed write them directly into the text box. To save your changes just click into another text field, and the changes to the previous field will be saved.

The grid sort and search functions here work the same as with any WhatToDo grid for “Business Name” and “Keyword.” For a refresher on using grids, click here.

Print Dashboard

Immediately after logging in you’ll be taken to a screen with several grey buttons on the left. You should select the one that says “My Print Advertising.” This is the button to click if you are a participant in a print advertising program.

If you advertise more than one business in the WhatToDo publications, or you advertise the same business in different publications, you will need to select the publication and/or the Business in the row at the top of the dashboard:

The info you will see on your print admin dashboard includes:

All Items

The first button in the left-hand column of your print dashboard says “All Items” and lists a number next to it. This is the total number of items including Listings, Coupons and Ads that you have in the publication. You can view and/or edit any of these things by clicking this button and clicking the “Edit” button on the grid next to the individual item.

Alerts

Alerts are important reminders of incomplete information or steps you need to take before the magazine goes to print. Please address any alerts as soon as they appear, as outstanding alerts may delay the printing process or cause your company’s info to appear incorrectly or not appear at all.

Tools

Here you can Reset Password any time you want or Contact WhatToDo with questions or requests.

Upload Artwork
Use this tool to send artwork such as a logo or a PDF of your ad. In the popup, you can select the file from where you have it saved and include any notes for our graphic designer before you submit it.
NOTE: If you simply want to add an existing image or logo to your company info, please follow the media gallery instructions and guidelines.

Definitions of Print Items

Listings/Dining Listings

Short descriptions of your product or service. This is where you explain to potential customers what you offer and choose how your product is classified (i.e. how visitors will search for it)

Coupons

An offer or special discount available for a specified period of time, requiring the user to present the printed coupon to receive the discount. WhatToDo magazines offer several pages of tear-out coupons

Ads

Just like newspaper or magazine ads, these are promotions of your business that appear in a certain defined space within the guidebook. WhatToDo Ads are available in multiple sizes and placements depending on the types of products available in your area.
