HOW TO SEARCH AN ARTIST FROM ETEREWEB

To search for an artist from the web, a Full-Text Search feature is provided to perform a Google-like search that retrieves artists based on the artist's whole name, surname, stage name, or part of the name. Once the search is launched, the artists who matched the search criteria will be displayed under the Artist Manager panel. 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 more or less details about the searched artist by clicking the column settings button and simply dragging and dropping the columns in the open form. This can also help to find the desired artist or artists in case of multiple results.
AddOrRemoveColumns

Important information: To enable further columns, in addition to the Default ones, it is necessary to create a customised Layout for each Etere workgroup and apply the necessary rights, but for this topic, you can find more information in chapter 62.2.49.3 Web Artist of our online Help.

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, including a picture, thumbnail, or background, into an artist. 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:

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.
