Manage shared library metadata

Use the Library in the sidebar to manage shared lists that titles can reuse: people, companies, genres, awards, and festivals. Each item is stored once and can be linked to multiple titles. Your plan must include the catalogues module.

Each list has a search box. Press Enter or click Search, then select a row to open and edit it.

Add a genre

1. Open Genres and click New genre.
2. Enter the Name and Slug.
3. Optional: under Artwork, choose a Cover and Background. Storefronts show these on genre pages and rows.
4. Optional: under Translations, click Add language, then enter the genre name and description in that language. Storefronts show the translated name when it matches the viewer’s language.
5. Click Save.

The genres list displays each genre’s name, slug, and available translation languages. Link genres to a title during the title’s Classification step or later when editing the title. For more information about title editing, see Catalogues: create and edit titles.

Add an award or festival

1. Open Awards and click New award, or open Festivals and click New festival.
2. Enter the Name and Slug, and optionally choose an Image.
3. Click Save.

Link awards and festivals to a title in the title’s Classification section. You can also add awards to a person by opening the person and selecting Add awards.

Add a company

1. Open Companies and click New company.
2. Enter the Name, Slug, and Country—for example, US—and optionally choose a Logo.
3. Click Save.

To add a company to a title, open the title’s Companies tab, click Add, enter the company name, choose its role, and click Add.

Add people to a title

People are added through titles; the People list does not have a New button.

1. Open the title from Catalogues.
2. Select Cast & crew, then click Add.
3. Enter the person’s full name, choose a role, and click Add.
4. Drag people in the list to set the order in which storefronts display them.

Use the Details icon on a person to see their role on that title. Select Open profile there to view the person’s profile.

Edit a person’s profile

1. Open People and select the person.
2. Under Details, edit the name, slug, birthday, passed-on date, or gender.
3. Under Images, click Add image to link pictures of the person.
4. Under Awards, select Add awards.
5. Under Biography by language, click Add line, choose a language, and enter the biography.
6. Click Save.
