Sharing inventory publicly
CityScreen Deals provides three ways to share inventory information with people who do not have an account. Each mechanism has a different scope, a different lifetime, and a different set of data it exposes. None of the three shows prices or discounts.
Public display reference pages
Every display has a permanent URL. When a recipient opens the link, they see the display’s public details — name, address, location on a map, dimensions, format, and photos — without logging in.
This mechanism is gated by an organization setting. The administrator enables or disables public display pages for the entire organization through the public inventories toggle in organization settings.
- Scope
-
One display per link.
- Lifetime
-
The link is permanent and works as long as the organization setting is enabled. Disabling the setting immediately makes all public display pages return an error.
- Data shown
-
The display’s details, without prices, discounts or deal context.
Quick Proposal map link
When a Quick Proposal is downloaded as the standard XLSX or the combined XLSX, the file includes a link that opens a map of the displays selected in that proposal. Files made from a template carry no map link. The map is public — the recipient does not need an account.
It resolves against current inventory data each time it is opened, so if a display has been renamed or updated since the link was generated, the map reflects the current state. Displays that have been deleted since link generation, and displays without coordinates, are omitted.
- Scope
-
The displays selected in one Quick Proposal.
- Lifetime
-
The link expires on its own after a set period, counted from the export, and then stops working.
- Data shown
-
Display name, address, format, and installation kind. Price and discount are never included.
Quick Proposal covers the export process.
Photo-report links
A deal’s photo reports can be shared through a public link so the customer can review proof-of-posting images without logging in. The link is toggled on or off from the deal’s photo-reports tab.
- Scope
-
All photo reports for one deal. The link covers every display in the deal’s proposals.
- Lifetime
-
The link stays active until it is toggled off.
- Data shown
-
Uploaded photo-report images and the creatives assigned to each display, for visual comparison, without prices or deal financials.
Photo reports covers uploading and managing proof-of-posting images.
