Mediabank Dashboard is a personal board providing the users with the most essential information compressed in one workspace.
A user and an administrator share the same Dashboard except for an additional administrative user management module for the admin role.
Overview of dashboard modules
The Dashboard currently utilizes 4 user information modules and an additional user admin module for the local admin role.
- Time/Date module simply retrieves your local machine time/date and present 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.
- Settings are your own administrative configuration space to personalize your work environment.
- My settings
- 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. - Colour Theme - Toggle display between bright (default) or Dark mode.
- Default Items per page defines the number of media clips visible in one page in the thumb/list view.
- Make assets available even if the upload is not complete.
- List view columns - Library W2 settings.

The information module
Mboxes can be used unrestricted or limited in amounts of minutes. The below Mbox is restricted to transferring 30 minutes of media content on a weekly basis. 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 itself:
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 an click "Approve". (You may also deny a user)
