I have a vehicle wrap client who wants to upload PDF/JPG proofs to a page, send their customers a link who can then view that proof and either approve it or not approve and offer feedback. How could this be done CMSB if it could be done at all?
So the steps would be:
1. My client logs into CMSB and somehow sets up a new page for a new proof.
2. The assets and any text is uploaded / typed in
3. A specific page is generated with info and an approve button which would send an email or a not approve button with a field for feedback
I am pretty sure I am looking at a custom job here but I thought since they have and are familiar with CMSB I would check in. I may hit Ross up to see if there is some custom work they can do as well.

Hi Lenny,
You can definitely do that. Basically you'd have a section for proofs. And a viewer for them, and an email form that would allow an end user to send a comment back and/or toggle an "approved" checkbox in the database.
Some of the issues to consider would be:
- How to make the proof pages secure (so users can't view each others proofs)
- Considering the max filesize of uploads (some servers have troubles with 50+ meg files)
- How the customer will figure out what link to send to the end client and how that will be done (automated email, manual process, etc)
CMSB can do a lot of the work, and then you need some custom programming there as well. If you want to do it as a custom job I can give you a call to discuss and we can put together a quote for you. I think it's pretty straightforward. Feel free to email me at dave@interactivetools.com.
Hope that helps!
