Shows
The shows grid is where most of your time in Catalog will be spent. This page covers browsing, opening, editing, and acting on individual shows. For tuning the grid itself, see Customizing your view.
What’s in a show
A show is the core unit of inventory. Each row carries everything you’d want on a one-line rate-card entry:
- Identity — name, slug, network/publisher, artwork
- People — host(s)
- Audience — downloads, listeners, demographics
- Content — categories, RSS feed, description
- Capabilities — DAI, embedded ads, video, host-read
- Memberships — which agencies represent it
- Activity — last update, view count, audit history
Browsing
The grid renders every show in the current workspace. Click any column header to sort. Click again to reverse. The full set of grid controls (filters, hiding columns, copying out, view modes) is documented in the Customizing your view guide.

Opening a show
Click anywhere in a row (outside the editable cells) to open the show detail modal.
Show detail modal — Overview tab.
Header with artwork, name, network, categories. Below that: audience metrics in a SimpleGrid, host(s), RSS feed link, capability badges.

The modal has two tabs:
- Overview — read-only summary of every field, formatted for scanning.
- History — audit log of every change made to the show, who made it, and when. Backed by the auditable framework.
The view counter increments on open (debounced) so the platform can track which shows your team looks at most.
Editing inline
Most show fields are editable directly in the grid — no modal required. Double-click a cell (or hit Enter when it’s focused) to begin editing.
| Cell type | How to edit |
|---|---|
| Text | Type to replace, Esc to cancel, Enter or click out to save. |
| Number | Same as text; commas and currency symbols are stripped. |
| Boolean | Click the checkbox or press Space. |
| Categories | Multi-select picker. Type to filter; create new categories on the fly. |
| Hosts | Multi-select picker against the hosts table. |
| Memberships | Multi-select against agencies. Updates via the show ↔ agency junction. |
| Artwork | Click the thumbnail → upload modal (drag & drop or click to browse). |
Edits save per cell as you commit them — there’s no Save button. A toast confirms each save; on failure the cell reverts and an error toast explains why.
One exception to clearing values: the Status column can’t be emptied (a show always has a status). Pressing Delete on a Status cell explains this instead of clearing, and a bulk clear skips Status while clearing the rest — naming what it left out.

Dropdown with checkbox options, search field at top, 'Create new' affordance at bottom.

Who can edit
- Admins — every show.
- Org members — shows in their org (governed by RLS).
- Share recipients with edit permission — shows in the shared collection only.
- View-only share recipients — the grid is read-only; cells don’t enter edit mode.
The pencil/pencil-off icon in the toolbar reflects your current edit state.
RSS enhance
For any show that has an RSS feed URL filled in, the RSS Enhance action pulls the latest metadata from that feed — description, categories, host info, episode counts — and offers to fill missing fields in the row.
- Right-click a row → RSS Enhance, or open the show context menu.
- Catalog fetches the feed and shows you a side-by-side diff.
- Approve fields individually or Apply all.
RSS Enhance modal showing field-by-field diff.
Two columns: 'Current value' / 'From RSS'. Checkbox per row, 'Apply' button at bottom.

This is the fastest way to bring a stale show up to date.
Favorites
Click the star icon in the row’s first column to favorite a show. Favorites are personal — they follow you across orgs — and surface in:
- The favorites group in the left sidebar
- Spotlight (⌘K) search results
- The
/browseviews
Click the star again to un-favorite.
Selecting & bulk actions
Use the row checkboxes to select multiple shows. The floating action bar appears at the bottom of the grid when any row is selected.

Blue bar floating bottom-center, showing '12 selected · Add to Collection · Remove from Collection · ...'

From the action bar:
- Add to Collection — picks one or more collections; the selected shows are linked to each.
- Remove from Collection — visible only when you’re viewing a single collection. Removes selected rows from it.
- More menu — opens a Mantine
Menuwith deletion (admins only) and other less common actions. - Clear selection — deselects everything.
Multi-row selection survives sorting and filtering — selecting then filtering doesn’t drop selections, so you can build a multi-criteria set across passes.
Show context menu
Right-click any row to open the per-show context menu:
- Open in detail modal
- Favorite / unfavorite
- Add to Collection / Remove from Collection
- RSS Enhance
- Copy URL to clipboard
- Delete (admins only)
Right-click context menu on a show row.
Mantine Menu with items as listed above. Delete is at the bottom, red.

Edge cases & gotchas
- Deleted shows stay out of the grid but remain in the database (soft-delete via
deleted_at). Admins can restore them from the All Shows view if needed. - Slug collisions during import auto-resolve to
<slug>-2,<slug>-3. Manually-edited names don’t change the slug — those stay stable. - Concurrent edits — if two users edit the same cell, the last write wins. Live presence in the collection header hints at when this is a risk.
- Mobile view drops the data grid in favor of a card-style list optimized for touch. Inline editing is reduced; tap the show to open the detail modal.
