SEARCH AN ARTIST

To search for an artist from the web, the full-text search retrieves artists based on the artist's name, surname, stage name, or part of them. It's also possible to use AND and OR logical operators.
Once the search is launched, the artists who matched the search criteria will be displayed in the table. Here, it's possible to open and edit the artist's details page by clicking on the name, surname or stage name.

ArtistManagerList

In the search results table, there is the possibility to make these operations:

Sort the results: Clicking on a column, the results will be sorted according to the column's data (ID, name, birth date, Country, etc.) and clicking again, the user can switch between ascending and descending order. The icon at the top-right corner of the column shows the order in which the results are sorted.

SortByIDAsc
SortByNameDesc
SortBySurnameAsc

Add or remove columns: Show, hide and arrange the columns in the table, through the Column settings button.

Note: To enable further columns, in addition to the default ones, it is necessary to create a customised template for each Etere group and apply the necessary rights. Find more information in chapter 59.2.49.3 Web Artist.

ACTIONS

As explained above, editing the artist's information on the artist's details page is possible, but further actions can be executed from the Action menu.

Note: The action menu is unavailable during the artist creation phase, only once the new artist has been saved in the DB.

IMPORT IMAGES

The Import images action allows the users to upload multiple images into an artist record. Once you click on the IMPORT IMAGES option, a new tab will open allowing you to upload the needed images once the following parameters are set:

ImportMultipleImages002

• Select the FTP space: Select the destination FTP path to import the images. The droplist will show only the name of the enabled media folders with function="Etereweb" and an FTP path properly set in "Etereweb download\upload path".
• Device: This represents the cloud device to which the previously selected path belongs. It is automatically filled according to the FTP space selected.
• Codec: Select the destination codec of the imported image. The codec must have content type=image in the codec properties.
• Workflow to execute after the upload: Indicate the T-workflow to be triggered after the images are uploaded.

Once all the parameters are set, click the Add files button to choose the images to upload (or drag them in the box), then press the Start Upload button.

The selected artist will be permanently deleted from the database.
