Master Client – What has changed?
[Master Client in Pulse]
We have introduced the ability to restrict a Master Client to a Network. Some Master Clients could be considered Global Havas MC, but others may be a small market only used in Brazil.
We have removed the ability to delete a Master Client but have introduced the concept of setting a Master Client inactive. Setting a Master Client inactive will also set the related Brands & Products as inactive.
The Master Client name must be unique. However, you can create the same Master Client if restricted to a Network. For example, you could have ‘Pulse’ as a Global Master client (that’s us!) but also ‘Pulse’ is restricted to a network in Istanbul and is a small Boutique.
You will notice an advanced tab that can be used to set approval groups. This is to use in a feature we hope to release in Q2 2023.
You will also see a ‘History’ tab that tracks any changes made on Master Client.
