Assets

There are two tabs on the Assets page in Analytics:

  • An "Overview" tab that gives an Asset Summary report.
  • An "Inventory" tab that reports on the total number of assets in the Uplynk account with breakdowns for files (VOD), clips, live events (Events), or live channels (Live).

Inventory Tab

The Inventory report provides the following analytics for the CMS assets a user has access to across one or more Uplynk accounts:

STORED ASSET STATISTICS

Stored asset-specific statistics.

AnalyticDetails
Total AssetsIndicates the total number of all assets contained in the user's viewable accounts.
ClipIndicates the total number of clips contained in the user's viewable accounts.
EventIndicates the total number of Live Events contained in the user's viewable accounts.
ExternalIndicates the total number of externally-stored assets (using SmartPlay: Ingest) contained in the user's viewable accounts.
FileIndicates the total number of Upynk-generated VOD assets contained in the user's viewable accounts.
LiveIndicates the total number of Live Channels contained in the user's viewable accounts.

If a user has access to more than one Uplynk account, a user can select which account the stored assets statistics are to be displayed for.

There is a graph that displays "Number Of Assets By Creation Time" to be able to monitor your asset creation rate for all types of assets.

OVERVIEW

The Overview report lists the actual assets themselves as summarized in the reports with filtering based on the type of asset.

This Overview report is useful for finding unexpected asset types. For example, if a user generally doesn't use clips, but there are clips displayed, this can help narrow down what the clips are.
