#hello.my.gvl

There are some important technical changes in the current year. The entire reporting process for artists is moving from the old portal artsys.gvl to my.gvl. Functions from the old portal will be successively redeveloped for my.gvl during the move. The new programming of the modern environment allows a more comfortable use and an efficient further development of the services for you in the future. 

What does the move mean in concrete terms? 

The most important thing first: The distributions have absolute priority for GVL. The reporting portal will therefore remain open the whole time. You will see some of the changes directly, others will initially take place more behind the scenes. At times, there may be limited functionality or other disruptions. However, we will keep you up to date by informing you about the individual steps in the news section of my.gvl. 

What is the background to the move? 

The first functions of my.gvl went online a good two years ago: a start page with current portal news and improved menu navigation, as well as the "Open Cases". These enable simplified verification processing.  

Central functions (e.g. the product search, the "Registered" area and the provision of documents via "My Account") continued to be handled via the old portal artsys.gvl. However, this parallel operation of the old technology proved to be very maintenance-intensive. Therefore, in the fall of last year, the decision was made to tackle the dismantling of the old technology with the highest priority and in the shortest possible time.  

What has already been achieved, and what are the next steps? 

By now, the new, more powerful product search can be used by all the different types of artist, as the necessary search, filter and sorting options have been added in each case. The ability to bookmark products has also recently been redeveloped.   

We therefore shut down the old product search on 16 May 2022 in order to save maintenance effort and to be able to invest even more energy in the new developments.  

To make the changeover a little easier for you, we will provide you with an instruction manual in our FAQ section in the near future, which will familiarize you with the functions of the new product search, if you have not tried them out yet. 

Only a little later, the "Registered" area will also move and get a new design. The release will take place in several steps, so that the familiar page will still be available in parallel for a while. At first, not all of the usual functions will be available in the new "Registered" area. However, we would be pleased if you would try out the new features as early as possible and let us know your suggestions, ideas and criticism.  

Later this year, as a final step, the "My Account" and "Vita" areas will also be moved. This will complete the replacement of the old portal.
