MEDIA_EST is the header file that stores the Media Estimate data. Each MEDIA_EST record contains a single Media Estimate's header data. It is a data file used primarly on . Each MEDIA_EST record has fields for Client, Catagory, and Description (i.e., ME_CLIENT_NUM, ME_CAMPAIGN, ME_DESC) , Date, Job, Task, and Approvals (i.e., ME_DATE, ME_JOB_NUM, ME_TASK, and ME_APPROVAL1 thru ME_APPROVAL3), and the Custom Labels (i.e., ME_LABEL1 thru ME_LABEL5) for each Media Estimate. These fields are updated when Media Estimates are added. Client Spending and Status Reports are also created from these data fields.

LEGEND:

Type indicates whether a field contains characters (i.e., "char") which contains any combination of letters or numbers, numbers (which has a set number of decimal places), or integers (i.e., numbers that range from 0 to 255 only).

Length shows the size of a field. Character fields have lengths that are fixed, depending on their purpose. Description and note fields have a length of 32000, which make them variable-length; their actual size depends on how much data is entered into them.

Index indicates fields that are indexed in the database, which makes them key fields for finding and sorting data. For best performances on reporting and exporting, searches should made on index fields first.
