How Catalog Linking Works

Curve uses releases and tracks for its catalog. Royaltyport has products (releases) and recordings (tracks). The integration links them so that contract terms, participation rates, and syncs reference the correct catalog in both systems. Catalog linking has two sub-tabs: Releases and Tracks. There is no separate “Suggested” tab; you work from a single list with statuses and optional manual linking.

​
Releases and Tracks Sub-tabs

  • Releases — Royaltyport products ↔ Curve releases. Columns include Product (Royaltyport), Release (Curve), UPC, Reason, and Actions.
  • Tracks — Royaltyport recordings ↔ Curve tracks. Columns include Recording (Royaltyport), Track (Curve), ISRC, Reason, and Actions.
Use the sub-tabs to switch between releases and tracks.

​
Status Types

Each row has one of these statuses:
StatusMeaning
MatchedA Royaltyport item is linked to a Curve item.
Only RPItem exists in Royaltyport only (no Curve link yet).
Only CurveItem exists in Curve only (no Royaltyport link yet).
You can filter by Status (All, Matched, Only RP, Only Curve) and by Reason (e.g. UPC/ISRC exact match, name exact match, manual link).

​
Matching Reasons

Links are created automatically when identifiers or names match, or manually by you:
ReasonDescription
UPC exact match (releases)Same UPC in Royaltyport and Curve.
ISRC exact match (tracks)Same ISRC in Royaltyport and Curve.
Name exact matchSame name used for the release or track.
Manual linkYou linked the items in the edit modal.
Filters let you narrow by reason to review auto-matched vs manual links.

​
Actions

  • Matched — You can Unlink to remove the link. Link is disabled (already linked).
  • Only RP — You can Link (pencil) to choose a Curve release or track for this Royaltyport item. Unlink is disabled.
  • Only Curve — You can Link (pencil) to choose a Royaltyport product or recording for this Curve item. Unlink is disabled.

​
Manual Linking (Edit Modal)

Clicking Link on an “Only RP” or “Only Curve” row opens a modal:
  • RP mode (Only RP) — The Royaltyport product or recording is fixed; you pick a Curve release or track from a searchable list (name and UPC/ISRC).
  • Curve mode (Only Curve) — The Curve release or track is fixed; you pick a Royaltyport product or recording from a searchable list.
Only unlinked items are shown. Saving creates the link with reason “Manual link”.

​
No Suggestions Tab

Unlike Entities and Contracts, catalog does not have a separate Suggested tab with approve/reject. Matching is either automatic (by UPC/ISRC/name) or manual. Review the list by status and reason, and use Link for any “Only RP” or “Only Curve” rows you want to connect.
