Mediabank Dashboard is a personal board providing the users with essential information compressed in one workspace.
Overview of dashboard modules
Time and Date
The time/date module retrieves your local machine time/date and presents it on your Dashboard. This is important to check when you are working in the Library (Live) Tag's workspace since every Tag you create will use this time and date as a reference.
My settings
Settings are your own administrative configuration space to personalize your work environment.
- Make assets available even if the upload is not complete.
- On = You will see incoming media clips during conversions & poster/proxy generation.
Off = The media clip will not appear in the list/thumb view until all stages are completed.
- On = You will see incoming media clips during conversions & poster/proxy generation.
- Colour Theme - Toggle display between bright (default) or Dark mode.
A user can now toggle the Mediabank user interface between the standard (bright mode) and a dark mode. Particular useful for users working in a dark environment.
- Default Items per page defines the number of media clips visible on one page in the thumb/list view. Available choices are 8 to 300 thumbs/page.
List view columns - Library W2 settings.
Applies to Library W2 List. (Recent implementation involves the Thumb view (W1) as well.) Thumb view reads the settings from the List view settings and organizes the Thumbs accordingly.
There are 3 options:
- The default Library settings
- Personal settings
- Use/modify the group settings.
Modifying your personal preferences:
Select "My Settings" and click on the edit button to open the "Edit personal settings" window. You can change the order, width, and title of the columns. In addition, you can remove or add columns to enhance your personal workspace. The changes affect your account only.
Group settings
If you are a member of multiple groups, you can choose the most relevant group for you. You can alter the settings as the "personal settings."
Note!
Changing the group setting affects all users in that group. Consider the user's consent before your modifications.
The information module
Mbox usage, a feature that enables corporations and users to keep track of their Mbox usage and costs. The information is visible on the Dashboard and the Mbox when opened. Additional information later in this article.
Mboxes can be used unrestricted or limited in amounts of minutes. For example, the Mbox could be restricted to transferring 30 minutes of media content weekly. Each Monday at 00:00 CET, the Mbox is reset to a new 30 minutes of transfer.
Can a user exceed the available amount of minutes?
The Mbox can be configured to accept or deny further use of the Mbox when the available amount of minutes is exceeded. This is decided by the user's employer (customer). They also decide the amount of usage available per week, month, or accumulated. The limitation is for the account only in the present release.
Different Mboxes can also be configured to use different price plans.
Additional information is also available from the actual M-boxes themselves:
Personal Identification module
Your personal Identification module provides your name and your role in the present account. The present roles are "User" or "Admin".
Navigation module
The Navigation module presents the available applications for the specific account. You have the right to use the applications illustrated in color. Restricted applications are greyed out.
In the below image, all applications are available to the user.
The admin module.
The local admin uses an additional user account module. Every new incoming user account request can immediately be administrated from the local admin dashboard. Select one or additional relevant groups for each user and click "Approve". (You may also deny a user)
