Locating Global Times

To get started, open the settings for your festival and click Global Times located under Festival Setup. 

Creating a New Global Times Assignment 

Clicking Create in the upper right opens a pop-up where you can enter the assignment's name, description, time & duration, and the criteria that will be used to add the assignments to events that match.

Refining the Criteria 

Initially, the assignment will be added to every event running that day. To refine the selection of events you can add specific venues or rooms to the criteria.

Next Day Assignments

Selecting a time of 4:00 am or earlier opens up a new date field under Assignment Start. Now you can set the assignment's start date and time separate from the event date. 

Managing Global Times

When you open the Global Times page in your festival's settings, you are greeted with a birds-eye overview of relevant assignments. 

Out of Sync Assignments

If a user modifies one of these assignments in an event, it will be flagged as Out of Sync. 

Deleted Assignments

If a user deletes one of these assignments in an event, it will be flagged as Deleted. 

Restoring Assignments

If an important assignment was edited or removed from an event, you can restore it with a click! Open the Global Times assignment that has become Out of Sync with or Deleted from the event.

On the right of the page that opens, you will see the events that contain the assignment, along with some helpful indicators showing you which ones were modified or Deleted. To visit an event to check what's changed, click one.

 

To restore an assignment to its original state, click the indicator on the desired event and it will fall in line.
