Settings: Customize your CONNECT experience
Go to Settings to adjust default activity filters and data visualizations for your account. These settings will be applied throughout CONNECT.
Navigation
Open Settings from the sidebar menu.
General
These options apply throughout CONNECT.
Location
Choose a country as your default location or opt for a Worldwide view.
Scroll the dropdown or type into the search bar to narrow down countries.
Genre Database
Note that in Reports and Analysis, you can still toggle between genre sets. Dashboards, however, will only display one set of genre tags based on your Genre Database setting.
Release Age
Use the sliders to customize the way CONNECT defines release age periods for Current, Catalog and Deep Catalog music.
Dashboards
These options apply to Dashboards. (The General settings above apply to Dashboards, too).
Dashboard settings correspond to the Data Controls menu. Make selections here to "pre-load" your ideal data breakdown for every entity you click on: Last week's Streams with Audio/Video breakouts, Current-week Album Equivalents in a daily grid, etc.
Apply your settings
When you’re done making selections, click the APPLY CHANGES button at bottom right.
A blue banner will appear at top right to confirm the changes. (If you don't see the confirmation banner, or if you notice your settings aren't applied, try again or troubleshoot).
CONNECT will remember your settings from now on. Even if you log out, they’ll remain in place until you change them.
You may update settings as often as desired. If you don’t like the new data visualizations, go back and click RESET SETTINGS to return all options to our defaults.
