A quick overview of our dashboard components
This page will give you a quick look at how tables, forms, and navigation worksour dash and the necessary components to create and distribute a release.
Main Navigation
Our main navigation categorizes all platform sections of the platform into 6 5 groups: Catalog, Distribution, Marketing, ReportsAnalytics, FilesDemo Inbox, and TeamRoyalties. To keep this article brief, we will not go into detail about discuss these sections in detail here, but you can read more about them in later parts of the documentation.
...
Sub-navigation
When you click on any main navigation item, for example, Releases, Labels, Artists, Tracks, etc. you will be presented with a table view of that section's data. Here is an example of the Labels section.
...
Screenshot from the tracks table
Notice: Other sections may differ slightly based on the features of that section. For example, some toolbars have disabled add, edit, and delete. Some have no toolbar at all. It is dependent on the type of data you are looking at and whether we allow certain operations on that data.
TIP: Bulk operations can be performed on several rows at a time.
Advanced Toolbars
In some cases, additional tools are available that are relevant to the content you are viewing. For example, on the releases table, there are 3 additional sub-menus for Distribution, Marketing, and Tools.
...
Top bar sub-menus allow for single or bulk operations
For more information about what each sub-menu item does, you can read more in the Content Management section of the docs.
Row sub-menus
Some tables will have a row sub-menu available. For example, the Releases table has a sub-menu on each row for Content management, Distribution, and Sharing tools. There is also another row of icons showing the shop links that we have fetched for the release.

Tooltips
We have placed tooltips everywhere in the app to help you learn without interrupting your workflow.

Tables
We use table views for every section of the app and all of them have the same functionality. This includes search (where applicable), pagination, refresh, add & edit (where applicable), and other tools that let you perform bulk operations on the selected rows.

Many of the table views are also equipped with a search input box. These search boxes help you quickly find what you are looking for in a given table's data set. *Searching works across all pages, for example, when you search on the Releases table, it will filter through all of your releases, not just the particular page number you are viewing.
Sorting
Click the top of any column to toggle between ascending and descending order for that column.
...
Currently, the sort feature will only sort the visible rows. It does not take into account other rows hidden by pagination. We will be fixing this soon!
Pagination and refresh
The bottom of every table has a pagination bar and refresh button.
