Production Tools: Table

Table tool

The production tool can compile all event-related information in a table format. Program schedules, people, venues, and performers can be attached to the production schedule. It is useful for coordinating event area building or stage schedules, for example.

The idea is to build, for example, rig, stage or area ownership schedules, driving lists, etc. in a table format and distribute them to essential people, from the cateriring to the band's tour manager and from backline rental to the stage manager.

To create a new production schedule, name it and select it from the drop-down menu. Production schedule collection base (Production)

Then edit the fields in the form. The fields will be filled with information for each area/stage/program and will act as headers. The information will be filled in internally. 

Creating a new production schedule template

A new production schedule template is created in the collection view by right-clicking Add a new one.

  • Write the name of the base (area, stage, program). 
  • Set the production date. If you want, you can also set a time when the event doors will open to the public.
  • Finally, you can supplement and follow-up on the additional information with information relevant to production, such as contact information.
