A Glossary of the Fields Available in Income Templates

This is a list of all of the fields available in your income ingestion templates. The fields in this list will ingest your income data to map income to your catalog, normalize the metadata to the values in your General Settings, and ingest the necessary figures for royalty calculation.

The values that are necessary for income validation are marked with an asterisk (*). If any fields are not present in your income files, they can be supplemented with Default Values, Copy Fields, Calculations, and Target Cells settings.

Income cannot be distributed to contracts through the participation rates on Releases in our publishing platform.
