Videos are classified as a release on many distributors & DSP's, sometimes they are a standalone product and generate royalties just like any other release. UPC would make it possible to identify, classify and manage royalties better but also for catalog management that would work good.

Argent Metaliaj: For now we handle royalties of Videos based on their ISRC code. We know that some distributors give UPC codes + ISRC codes in their statements, UPC is the channel of the video, ISRC the code of the video. We do not know yet a distributor that only give an UPC for a Video. Do you have sample statements in this case that you would like to process in Royalties Manager? You can sent them to us and we'll add an UPC on our Videos if it's really needed to process that kind of statements.

Steve Verlinden: For my company, this is not necessarily tied to royalties, but features like this would allow us to more confidently use your system as a one-stop for our catalogue and works management, which is ultimately how we intend to use it. The more data I can track here, the less redundant spreadsheets and other bits I need to manage.

David Landreth: Ok David, that's how we would like people to use Reprtoir :-) For now you can create a specific Tag Category to enter UPC on your Videos if it's just metadata. We could migrate this for you in the future if we decide to add an "top level" UPC field on Videos. We plan to develop a system where each account will be able to create "custom properties" on an object. This system will have data type, then we'll would be able to auto-generate new columns, filters, form fields base on custom properties. This is a lot of work for us but I'm sure such system will solve all metadata requirements of all of our customers. Regards.
