Catalogs
What is a Catalog?
A Catalog (also known as a "Music Catalog" ) is usually a collection of Assets owned or managed by a Record Label or a Music Publisher under a specific brand name.
An Organization can therefore manage several Catalogs, giving the possibility of virtually isolating them from each other.
Good to know
When a new Reprtoir account is created, a Catalog is automatically added with the Account Name.
Catalogs List
Where can find the Catalogs List?
To display the Catalogs list, go to the navigation menu located at the left of the Workspace, click on the "Catalog Management" icon, browse to the "Properties" section, and click on the "Catalogs" list.
The Catalogs List displays several columns by default, including:
| Column Name | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Name | The Name of the Catalog |
| Creation Date | The Creation Date of the Catalog |
You can add or remove additional columns using the optional Custom Columns feature.
Adding a Catalog
Good to know
There is no need to add Catalogs manually, as they are usually created on the fly when adding Assets. Despite this, if you still want to add a Catalog, follow the steps below.
To add a Catalog, go to the navigation menu located at the left of the Workspace, click on the "Catalog Management" icon, browse to the "Properties" section, and click on the "Catalogs" list.
At the top right of the list, click the orange "New Catalog" button.
A pop-up window will open to enter the necessary data for the new Catalog:
| Fields | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Name * | Enter the Catalog's Name |
Once filled in, to save the new Catalog, click on the orange "Save" button at the bottom right of the pop-up window. The new Catalog will be displayed in the "Catalogs" list.
Click the grey "Cancel" button to cancel the action.
Editing Catalogs
To edit Catalogs, go to the navigation menu located at the left of the Workspace, click on the "Catalog Management" icon, browse to the "Properties" section, and click on the "Catalogs" list.
Select one or more Catalogs in the list, right-click (or, when hovering over the Catalogs, click on the three dots on the right side), and then click on the "Edit" action in the opened contextual menu.
This will open a pop-up at the right of the Workspace to mass edit the selected catalog' metadata. Please visit the Mass Edit article to learn more about this feature.
To save, click the orange "Save" button at the bottom right of the pop-up window.
Click the grey "Cancel" button to cancel the action.
Deleting Catalogs
To delete Catalogs, go to the navigation menu located at the left of the Workspace, click on the "Catalog Management" icon, browse to the "Properties" section, and click on the "Catalogs" list.
