Rights Options

The Rights Options section is a space to record meetings or presentations made to companies and professionals. It is both a record of which titles were discussed and a follow up list to remind you of tasks to be completed such as: send PDF, send copy, send contract, etc.

Main Rights Options Screen:

Select Rights --> Rights Options to view the main overview screen with the list of the titles you've  already presented. 

Here you can search your options via the search box or you can apply Advanced Filters. 

You can also download your Options list by clicking on the Download button. The symbol before it enables you to determine a specific format.
