The basics of an event's Running Order.
About This Article
The running order is the second-by-second pulse of event execution. For more advanced concepts like having rows auto-advance based on the runtime, link coming soon.

Rows
A row is a step in your Running Order containing timings, a description, and other important information needed when the show is running.
Adding Rows
To add a new row to the running order, enter the row's description in the open field beneath the last visible row in the Running Order.
Then press Enter/Return on your keyboard or click the Add button and your new row will appear, ready to be adjusted.
Additionally, hovering over the row number will reveal "plus" icons between the current row and its neighbors. Clicking one of these will add a new row above or below the current row you're hovering over.
Removing Rows
On the far right of the row, there is a hamburger menu (three lines). Click it to open more options, the click Delete Row.
To delete multiple rows at once, hover over the row number to reveal the selection box, then select all the rows you'd like to delete. The selected rows will get a red border.
Now whatever you do to one row will cause the same thing to happen on all the rows, so now you can open the menu on the far right of a selected row and select Delete, and all those rows marked in the red outline will also be deleted.
Moving Rows
To move a row, click and drag the row number and drop the row in a new location in the running order.
Coloring Rows
You can color code rows to help you identify items faster during show time. Click the menu on the far right of the row to select a row color.
To define the color names to match your color coding system, click edit in the upper right of the running order.
Then click the color names to rename them.
Making a Row Header
Click the menu on the far right of the row, then select Make Row Header.
This transforms that row into a Header Row
Columns
Columns let you display information in the rows of the Running Order. You can add columns for Plain Text, Documents, or Images.
Adding Columns
To add a column, click the plus button at the top of the right-most column in the Running Order.
Then select the type of information you'd like to add to the column and give the column a header name (title). The width selector affects the horizontal size of the column in each row.
Turning off Restrict Edit will allow anyone with access to this Crescat event to add to or delete the column's contents. Leaving it on restricts editing to those with Write access.
Editing or Removing Columns
To remove a column, click its dropdown arrow and select Edit.

Moving Columns
Click the dropdown arrow of a column's header and select Move Left or Move Right to move the column one step in that direction.
