Generating Reports
DISCO's Reports feature was designed to help you gather data about your Playlists and the Tracks within those Playlists. Reports are generated at the Playlist level.
You can customize Reports using basic reporting fields, Filters, and More Options to see things like:
- playlists you've sent to a particular contact
- playlists that contain tracks with particular metadata (like a label or artist name)
- playlists in a channel, or with a particular tag
- client playlists
- playlists with a particular term in the title
- etc.
Important note regarding subscriptions:
The Lite plan does not offer any reporting features.
The Plus plan allows for limited reporting features (basic reporting fields, and Filters only).
The Pro plan allows for all reporting features (including basic reporting fields, Filters, and More Options).
More about subscriptions and features can be found here.

Accessing Reports
To access Reports:
- Open the Settings menu (the person icon) in the top-right corner of your DISCO.
- Select Insights.
- From the Insights page, select Reports on the left side.
Generating Reports using basic reporting fields
There are six basic reporting fields included with the Plus plan and above:
Below is a list of these fields and what they mean:
Select date range
By default, reports will be for all time, but you can specify a specific date range by clicking on the date field. There, you can choose a preset date range (last 30 or 90 days, for instance) or a custom period:
Select metadata
The Select metadata field lets you filter your report by particular track metadata or DISCO comments. You can search your entire DISCO metadata in the main field:
Or, by clicking on the Metadata dropdown, you can refine your search to a particular metadata field, or a DISCO client or internal comment:
Playlist title
The Playlist Title field lets you filter your report based on Playlist title, or even just a single term in the title.
Generated by user
The Generated by user field lets you filter your report to playlists created by specific members of your team.
Sent to client
The Sent to client field lets you filter your report to playlists you've shared to a particular recipient.
Featuring writer
The Featuring writer field lets you filter your report to playlists featuring at least one track with a split by a particular writer.
Generating Reports using Filters
There are three Filters are included in the Plus plan and above:
Below is a list of Filters and what they mean:
Filter by channel
Available in the middle Filters section, the Filter by channel filter lets you refine your report to playlists in a particular channel or channels. Note that when you add multiple playlists in the channel filter, the report will give you playlists in any of those channels, rather than playlists which are in each of the selected channels:
Filter by tag
Also available in the middle Filters section, the Filter by tags filter lets you refine your report to playlists tagged with particular playlist tags. Unlike the channel filter, entering multiple tags in the tag filter will give you only playlists that feature all of the selected tags.
Client list only
The Client lists only filter lets you filter your report to only those playlists marked 'Client Version'.
Generating Reports using More Options
The Reports feature has a More options section that allows you to include a broader range of information in your report, including General options, Track information, and Writer information.
Note: The More options section is only available on Pro plans and above.
General options
Include access stats
Checking Include access stats will include downloads and stream activity for the playlist. If no recipient is chosen in the report, total stats for the playlists will be shown; these will be totals, and won't be broken down by recipient.
If a recipient is selected, stats for just that recipient will be shown.
Include tags
Checking Include tags will include any playlist tags applied to the playlists. Multiple tags will be comma separated.
Include recipients
Checking Include recipients will include any users the playlist was shared to via DISCO, either via email share or assigned URLs.
Include user who created the playlist
Checking Include user who created the playlist will include the user in your DISCO who created the playlist.
Track information
The checkboxes in Track information let you output metadata and other track information in the report. By default, the report will include track artist, title and album metadata, but you can also choose to include any of the other track metadata fields DISCO supports, plus PRO number, and Notes.
Writer information
The checkboxes in Writer information let you output writer split information, including writer name, split %, publisher and PRO.
Previewing and Downloading Reports
When you've selected your filters and options, click Preview report to see a preview of your results, Download report > Export to Excel to export the results as a .xlsx file, or Download report > Export to csv to export the files to .csv.
Smaller reports should be downloadable immediately; larger reports will be emailed to you.
Notes:
- The maximum number of results a report can contain is 10,000. If your report generates more results than that, only the first 10,000 will be included.
- The Date column in your report will either reflect the date the Playlist was Last Modified or the date the Playlist was Created, depending on whichever was most recent.
