Locating the Scheduler

In the sidebar, open the festival you wish to view and click Scheduler.

 

Opening the Performances Panel

The top of the Performances Panel can be seen peeking out at the bottom of the Scheduler. Click the arrow that's pointing upward to make the full panel slide out.

 

Adding a Performance to an Event

Click and drag the desired performance from the performances pane and drop it on the event that requires it.

 

The bar between the header and the performances lets you find important performances quickly.

 

At the Top of the Scheduler

The Mode Selector

You can select the mode for the scheduler on the left side. Editing mode let's you drag items around the scheduler, create events, etc. Won't let you do those things, however, you can still add performances to events.

 

Search

The search bar is right below the mode selector to help you find a specific event in the scheduler.

 

Categorize Events by Venues and Rooms

On the far left is an item labeled Venues which lets you filter and categorize the events in the Scheduler by the venues and rooms they utilize. Notice how the scheduler updates when you tick the box next to a room name.

Types

Event Type filters will have the scheduler only show events that have the event types you've selected.

 

Dates

You can use the dates filter to decide how many days will be shown in the festival's Scheduler. As with the other filters, this only affects your view of the scheduler.

To select a date range click the first date you want to see, then click the last date you'd like to see. To show just one day, double-click the desired day to set it as both the start and end date.

 

Settings

Settings give you control over other aspects of the Scheduler.

 

Start/End of Day

The Start of Day and End of Day fields confine hours in the scheduler between the two times you've selected.

In this example, we've set the Start Of Day to 09:00 and End Of Day to 11:00.

The result we get on the scheduler will look like this.

 

Durations

Setting the Durations will change the times and notches on the left of the scheduler.

A setting of 15 minutes will place these notches 15 minutes apart.

 

Update Event Name

When you add the first performance to an event, the Update Event Name feature can automatically change the event name to match the performance name.

Always Prompt will check with you each time before taking action,  Always Update will change the event name without asking first, and Never Update will disable this feature until you decide on a different option.

 

Views

The different views change the way the information in the Scheduler is displayed. Calendar groups events by day, Stage view by room/location, and Day View shows a single day in more granular detail.
