Dashboard Tour
The sidebar is grouped by what you are trying to do, not by how the system is built. This page is the map. Some entries only appear once an add-on is active or your role includes the matching permission.
Overview
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your landing page. Catalog volume, revenue, and recent activity at a glance. |
| Users | Your customer accounts: artists and labels who registered on your portal. Open one to see their catalog, subscription, and account history. |
Users are your customers. Your own staff live under Members, further down.
Catalog
Everything your customers create, and the gate it passes through before distribution.
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Releases | Every release in your platform, with status, release date, and owner. |
| Tracks | Track-level view across the catalog, useful for finding missing ISRCs. |
| Artists | Artist profiles, including the store profile links used at delivery. |
| Labels | Label records. Releases fall back to your default label name when none is set. |
| Review & Delivery > Release Queue | The review workspace, one level down under Review & Delivery. Releases your customers submitted, waiting for your decision. Needs the process releases permission. |
How a release actually moves
Your customer builds it. They create the release, upload audio and artwork, add metadata and contributors, then submit.
It lands in your Release Queue. Your team opens it, works through the QC findings the system flagged, and checks the release-level blockers.
You decide. Approve it, request changes, or ask for rights documentation. Requesting changes sends it back to the customer with your notes.
It goes out. Approved releases enter distribution and pick up a delivery status you can track per release.
Delivery status meanings are documented in Delivery Statuses. Metadata rules that cause the most rejections are in the Metadata Style Guide.
Finance
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Sales | Imported sales and streaming revenue, broken down by release, store, and period. |
| Splits | Revenue split agreements between rights holders on a release. |
| Payouts | Payout requests from your customers, and the queue your finance team processes. |
Your customers add their own payout method under their Account Settings, either a PayPal address or bank details.
Operations
| Area | What it is for | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Activity Log | Audit trail of who changed what and when. | view logs permission |
| Copyrights | Copyright match results on submitted tracks, plus the credit balance that pays for checks. | Copyright checks enabled |
| Tickets | Support requests from your customers, with owner and status. | Support Desk Manager |
| Ticket Dashboard | Volume, response, and resolution reporting across tickets. | Support Desk Manager |
| Smartlinks | Branded release landing pages and their click analytics. | Smartlinks |
Copyright credits in one paragraph
Copyright checking runs on credits. You top the balance up from the Copyrights area, credits are added instantly after payment, and larger top-ups carry a bonus percentage. Tracks with a match appear as copyright issues on the release, where your customer can submit rights documentation and your team can approve or reject it. Credits reserved against an open check show as on hold until it resolves.
Settings
| Area | What it is for | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Settings | Your brand, languages, payments, domain, email, support, SSO, and legal pages. | Admin access |
| Upgrades | Membership plans and pay-per-release pricing you sell to customers. | manage membershippackages |
| Addons | The add-on store: browse, install, activate, deactivate. | Admin access |

Where do I go to...
| Task | Go to |
|---|---|
| Approve a release | Catalog > Review & Delivery > Release Queue |
| See why a release was flagged | Release Queue, open the release, read QC findings |
| Change your logo or brand name | Settings > Brand Settings > General Settings |
| Change your prices | Settings > Upgrades |
| Add a staff member | Settings > Members |
| Look up a customer | Overview > Users |
| Find out who deleted something | Operations > Activity Log |
| Create API credentials | Settings > DDEX Gateway > API access |
| Turn on two-factor authentication | Settings > Account Settings |
Two things hide an area: the add-on that provides it is not active, or your role does not include the matching permission. Deactivating an add-on removes its sidebar entry and blocks direct page access, but keeps the data so nothing is lost if you reactivate it later.
