The DISTRIBUTION / REPORTS section in V2 is a dedicated space to generate customized reports on your digital and physical distribution activity.
To keep things fast and stable, each report has a clear structure and limited flexibility. Instead of making one report cover every possible case, details provides focused reports tailored for real-world use in distribution, licensing, and reporting to artists or partners.
You can find this feature under DISTRIBUTION / REPORTS.
How It Works
In details, reports are created using a simple step-by-step assistant. You’ll be guided through five stages to configure your report:
- Select a Report Class (e.g. Artist, Label, Licensing, Release)
- Choose a Report Type based on what kind of data you need
- Choose a Grouping – for example by release, track, shop, or usage
- Enter Filters and Period – such as artist name or a sales date range
- Select Output Format – your download will be a CSV formatted by your country settings
Each step unlocks the next, depending on your previous selection. You’ll only see valid options for your chosen report path.
What’s a Report Item?
In Step 4, you’ll be asked to enter a Report Item — this is the key filter your report will be based on. What exactly counts as a “report item” depends on the report type:
- Artist Reports: enter an artist name
- Release Reports: enter a release title or code
- Label Reports: enter the name of the label
- Licensing Reports: may not require a filter, or ask for a deal or usage type
If you’re not sure what to enter, start typing — the field will suggest matching entries from your catalog.
Where Do the Reports Come From?
Each report is generated from a pre-configured SQL query in the system, automatically matched based on your selections. This means you don’t have to handle report logic yourself — simply choose what you want to see, and details generates the correct results in the background.
Most reports will be sent to you by email as a downloadable file. If the result is small, it may be shown on screen in the future (feature coming soon).
Tips Before You Start
- You can always go back and change your selections before generating a report.
- Make sure you enter a valid period (start and end date) when prompted.
- Some reports require a specific filter (e.g. artist name or release ID).
- If your report takes a while, check your inbox — you’ll receive it as a download link via email.
