Default Products database - Preview stage

Editors and staff should be able to check out the new product database (do a refresh if you can't see the product icon on the nav bar). You can't link products to albums or tracks yet, but you can browse, add and edit.

A quick explanation of the product classes: Franchises are collections of titles, and titles may consist of many releases. Releases are the "physical product" that consumers can actually obtain, so albums and tracks will ultimately be linked to these entries. There may be some cases where a title has no releases, or where all releases of a title share the same music; in this case the music can be directly linked to the title.

As for product browsing, eventually I plan to only have franchises and titles listed; releases can be summarized according to their platforms.

To add a franchise or a title independently, you can use the "+" button on the nav bar; to add a title to a franchise, use the franchise's edit page. Similarly you can add releases to a title using the title's edit page.

You can leave feedback regarding the interface in this thread.
