Next to the number of plays, you may also see a green Up arrow , or a red Down arrow . The arrow indicates if the number of plays is trending up or down over the recorded time period, four weeks for local and MOD plays. If there is no icon, the number of plays has remained relatively constant.
The main filter for the page is the drop-down option for Managing Music for. You can display music for all Jukeboxes, a group of jukeboxes, or an individual jukebox. You can search the music by name/title, popularity, status, or a combination of these.
Note: A jukebox group is a way to organize your jukeboxes (commonly by route, by location type/genre, etc.). For more information on creating and maintaining groups, open the Groups tab and click Help.
