Sampling Dashboard/Menu
When the Publisher Rep logs in now, they have their own dashboard where they are able to send recommendations and view recommendations that were sent.
Note: with a Publisher Rep role you will not see the "VitalSource Manage" icon, as is shown above. This is only seen with a Publisher Admin role.
Sending Individual Recommendations
Publisher Reps can send recommendations individually on a case by case basis using the instructions below:
-
Log in to http://sampling.vitalsource.com/publishers with your VitalSource credentials if you have not already.
-
Make sure the country flag is appropriately set to your country (Canadian instructors send via the US sampling portal)
-
Search the ISBN for which you wish to send a recommendation
-
Click the orange “Send Recommendation” button next to the title.
-
Enter the professor’s email address and click “Create New” if they are not already in your database.
-
Fill in all the appropriate information for this recommendation.
-
Press the Enter button on your keyboard or select “Send Recommendation”
Sending Bulk Recommendations
Publisher Reps can now send recommendations using a bulk template. Download the CSV template, add the information to the file, save it to your computer, and upload the file with the information to send the recommendations.
*Note: (If there are special characters in the instructor's email, the rep/admin will need to resend the recommendation(s) individually from the title's Product Details page in the designated portal.)
- Email of the publisher who sent the recommendation
- Email of instructor(s) who wish to remove the recommendation(s) from
- Title/ISBN of all recommendations they wish to remove [for each account]
