Product Update: Radmin Dashboard, Tags Removed, and more

Our regular Product Updates give you a rundown of the features and bug fixes that were rolled out over the past couple weeks, plus a look ahead to some of the bigger changes coming to your site or to Radmin.

We’re nearing the end of Episode 7 so the DoStuff Dev team is working hard to wrap up their big projects for the quarter, plus roll out the smaller feature requests and bug fixes that come to us from the DSD Queue.

Here are the latest updates from the past two weeks.

Radmin Dashboard

Later this week, we will be rolling out access to the brand new Radmin Dashboard.

In place of that blank white screen you’re used to seeing on the Radmin homepage, you will now see a real-time overview of the most important metrics for your metro: new users, co-regs, ad performance, and upcoming RSVPs and Giveaways.



The Radmin dashboard lets you see how your metro is performing with just a glance. You can view data by week or by month to identify trends and keep everything moving in the right direction. And since it's the first thing everyone sees when logging into Radmin, you know that your entire team is up-to-date on many of your most important metrics.

Users

The Users widgets show you an overview of how your user registrations have been changing over the past few weeks. This is especially helpful for identifying big spikes so you can figure out what caused it and repeat it, and for calling attention to stagnant periods so you can stay motivated to continuously be making sure you are focusing your efforts on growing your audience quickly.

• Totals
• Users: Number of new users this period as compared to last period
• CoReg: Number of users gained from co-regs this period as compared to last period
• Total Users: Your current total number of users
• Co-Reg
• Number of new users added through co-reg this period by source, sorted by number of users

Ads

The Ads widget helps you keep tabs on how many ads you're running and the amount of impressions they've delivered. Whereas the "Advertising" section of Radmin lets you see the traffic for each individual ad, this widget is intended to provide a snapshot of your ad traffic over the past 7 or 30 days.

Ideally, this feature will give you a good idea for many impressions you can deliver across your various brand ads on site, allowing you to sell impression quantities more confidently and monitor performance more accurately. Changing the date range to "Next 7 Days" or "Next 30 Days" will change the ad quantity to display the number of ads set to run during the specified upcoming date range.

• Brand Ads
• Location: The type of brand ad by location
• Ad Quantity: The number of brand ads that have run in that location over the period
• Impressions Delivered: The total number of impressions delivered during the period

Events

The Events widgets serve as a helpful reminder of what important Events you have coming up. Now you can be sure that no RSVPs or Giveaways slip through the cracks and that you and your partners are prepared.

• Upcoming RSVPs
• Upcoming Events with an RSVP, sorted by soonest
• You can click the gear icon to see all options related to that Event
• Upcoming Giveaways
• Upcoming Events that have a Giveaway, sorted by soonest
• You can click the gear icon to see all options related to that Event

Keep an eye out in Slack for news on when the Radmin Dashboard will be going live.

Tags

You may have noticed this week that Tags are no longer appearing on Artist and Event pages. We recently made the decision to remove Tags from the front-end because they weren't functioning the way we intend for them to quite yet.

We received feedback from a number of metros in Asana about the way Tags were being pulled in and presented on pages, and we took that feedback to heart.

We’re still confident that Tags can be a valuable tool when done right. They can help your content team group similar Artists and Events, and they let users discover new Events based on their favorite genres. We just need to wait until we have the development resources available to focus on making them work how we want them to work.

We recognize that Tags were not at the top of everyone's immediate the priority list, but spending a small percentage of time on experimental work such as this is an important part of our product development process. It doesn't replace other projects, just helps us ensure we are continuing to push the needle forward in multiple areas.

Radmin Event Search

Ever since Radmin first launched this summer, we've been receiving feedback that Event search was not working properly. Finding past Events in Radmin has been spotty at times and impossible at others.

We undertook the extensive project of reindexing all Events and working with our search API provider so that the search function in the Approved Queue is now working as it should.

If you experience any problems with the retooled Event search in Radmin, take a screenshot and email it to support so we can take a look.

Images Removed From Old ECP Widget

While we’re having a lot of success across the Network getting older ECPs switched over to the new
design, there are some of you with partners that are still using the old ECP widget on their sites.

If they are, they may have noticed that we removed images from the old ECP widget. It now only shows the text for each Event.

Images were no longer porting from the new platform to the old correctly and it looked really bad, so we removed images entirely. If your partners have questions about it, let them know that the old platform is being phased out and talk to them about adopting the new design.

Logging Into Radmin

You can now login into your metro’s Radmin site only by using your /admin URL (e.g. http://doxxx.com/admin). Make sure you update your bookmarks, if needed!

As we’re getting ready to shutter old Admin for good, this is part of our effort to put the final polish on Radmin. Since radmin.dostuffmedia.com could be referencing essentially any metro’s Radmin, this is the best way of ensuring no one is given access to the wrong DoStuff property.

The Other Bits

• Mobile Login Fixed: When logging in on mobile phones and smaller tablets, the pop-up modal used to extend beyond view. This has been fixed.
• Venue Popularity: Venue popularity ratings can now be viewed and edited in Radmin
• Sorting Users By Date: You can now sort users in Radmin by date created to find recently created profiles
• Radmin Search: There was a bug when using search that would cause it to say there were ‘X’ number of results, but not showing any. We fixed it.
• Pending Queue: You can now filter by scraper, if needed.
• Approved Queue: You can now filter by venue string, instead of having to select a specific venue.
• Artist Search: We improved the way Artist search works on both the front-end and Radmin. This makes it much easier to add the proper Artist to an Event.
• Hidden Events On Lenses: There was a bug that would display hidden Events on some Lenses. This has been fixed.
• All-Star Permissions: Removing All-Star/Tastemaker permissions for a user on the back-end was not removing them from the list on the front-end. Now adding or removing an All-Star/Tastemaker is immediately updated on the “All Tastemakers” page.
