In Create Updates (1.0), users can send updates Manually from the Creates updates page and also through Spreadsheet upload method.
This article will cover the following topics:
Add Updates Manually
- For adding the updates manually from the UI page, users need to select Updates at the Top of the UI and select “Create Updates (1.0) from the drop-down option.
- From the Create updates page, select the titles, Retailer, and territory details as shown below.
Please Note: iTunes is the only retailer that can be selected, at this time. - Once the titles and territories have been selected, users can enter a variety of metadata to send through price tiers for TPRs (temporary price reduction), such as HD price, SD price, VOD price, EST date range, VOD Date Range, Ratings, and Advisories. And more.
Please Note: By default, some metadata columns are hidden. To add/remove metadata fields, click on the Column button (read more about that here) - Once all the metadata information has been filled, click on “Add” button. This will add all updates to a single batch, before being sent though.
- From here, the user must validate all the updates that have been added to a batch.
- To remove all the updates from the batch, select “Clear all” option.
- Selecting specific items, the user can click “Remove” to delete the selected items from the batch.
- The user should name the batch before sending it. To do so, click on the text box shown below, and then click “Send batch”:
- The following screen will appear, which allows the user to review the updates before sending them through:
- Click “Ok”, and then a notification message will appear in the upper right-hand corner showing that the updates are being pushed through. To view updates in transit, navigate to Pending Batches. For information on how to do this, click here.
If a user wishes to save a batch before sending it, click on “Save draft” to return to it later.
- It will appear in Updates History as a Draft batch that only the user can access.
- It will also appear in the “Added” tab, for when the user is ready to return to it. Only one drafted batch will exist at a time.

Add Updates by Spreadsheet
- To begin, click on “Spreadsheet” button and from the drop-down click on Download blank.
- A spreadsheet will then download to the user's local computer with the default filename “Updates template.xlsx”.
- Once the user has entered the title and territory information, click on “Upload”.
- After the spreadsheet upload completes, each update will populate in the UI and updates are listed in alphabetical order (by title name). Although the user has added information through spreadsheet, it's still possible to add, remove, or edit any metadata field prior to adding the updates to a batch.
