Filters Within Update History

Some modules have filters that are only specific to that module. This article covers the filter options specific to the Updates History module.

 

Organized by the filter categories displayed above, this article will discuss the following categories:

• Title
• Who
• Availability
• Location
• Updates
• Other

From top to bottom, "Batch Name" allows the user to filter any of the tabs (Batches, Batch items, Pending batches) by the batch's name or similar values. i.e., "Test" will provide any Batch with the value "Test" in it. It is not case-sensitive.

Title

• Grouped Titles - When utilized, this represents the collection of identifiers under a specific title. (i.e., "SF The Movie" on Google Play and iTunes).
  
  
  • The user may either type the title in quotes for a specific title or without quotes to gather any title with the same values.
    
• Ungrouped Titles - When utilized, this separates the identifiers that represent a specific title. (i.e., "SF The Movie" specifically on iTunes)
  
  
  • Different identifiers may represent different territories that should be listed differently on store. (i.e., an identifier for a Platform's regional variant of their site that also contains different language data.)
• TV Season Number - Identifying a specific season number in delivery data.
  
• TV Episode Number - Identifying a specific episode number in delivery data.
  

Who

Although the filter drop-down is visible, access to its options is restricted to users with elevated permissions.

Availability

• Live Status - Filtering for titles/territories that are not live on store.

• USD price group - Identifies batches and their corresponding items that fall within a specified price group. If the territory operates with a currency other than USD, it converts the currency value accordingly.

• Live for pre-order - Enables users to identify deliveries for titles/territories that are currently within their pre-order window.
