New Feature Release: The Admin Panel and Dashboard
Updated January 12, 2011
We are excited to announce one of the biggest advancements to the platform since the day we began – the Admin panel and Dashboard. This new section of the site gives music reps ultimate control over which users have access to their site, who is playing their music, who is downloading, and what types of music users are searching for. They can also see detailed charts and reports that let them know what songs are being played the most, what’s being downloaded most often, who has been sent songs or track bundles, who opened and played these songs and bundles, and a lot more. Not only is this new section of the site a big step forward for SourceAudio but it’s also a leap forward for digital music licensing and distribution overall. We’ve brought legitimate business intelligence tools to the music licensing industry. Here’s a quick rundown of all that’s included:
In the Dashboard
- Easily find the songs you’ve recently played, requested to download, and received via our sending tool in your “Activity Overview” section
- All projects and songs that have been sent to you are stored in your “Received” section
- All projects and songs that you have sent to others are stored in your “Sent” section
- Store and retrieve all download bundles that have been sent to you in your “Download Status” section
- Quickly find the songs you’ve recently played and downloaded in your “History” section
- Customize the automatic email messages that get sent to your clients when you send them track bundles in your “Mail Format” section – send your users a custom email, written by you, that lets them know when and why the’ve been sent a bunch of new tracks
In the Admin Panel
- View, approve and deny all new site registration & download requests in your “User Requests” section
- Promote tracks, albums, artists and labels on your site in the “Feature” section
- Create, edit, remove and set access permissions for users in the “Manage Users” section
- Update the metadata on 1 song or 25,000+ songs all at once through our rules tool in the “Manage Metadata” section
- View detailed reporting on music playback, downloads, user activity and search trends in the “View Statistics” section
- Customize your site’s layout and interface through the tools in the “Edit Site Settings” section
