Where to access Stage View
You can open Stage View from more than one place in Crescat.
From Festival Venues
Festival admins can open Stage View from the Festival Venues area.
Use Case
When you are already working with the festival’s connected venues, and want to move directly into a stage-focused overview.
From Festival Scheduler
You can also open Stage View from the View selector of the Festival Scheduler.
Use Case
When you are scheduling work and want to switch from a broad calendar view to a focused venue or room view.
From the Festival Section Dashboard
Festival section members can open Stage View from the Festival Section Dashboard when they have access to one or more venues or rooms.
Use Case
When you want an overview of the venue information and performance context relevant to that section.
The Layout
Once Stage View is open, the layout is designed to help you move quickly between spaces and dates.
1. Select a venue or room
Use the selector at the top of Stage View to choose the venue or room you want to review.
If a venue has several rooms, you can move between the venue-level overview and the individual rooms from the same selector.
2. Choose a date
Use the date filter to narrow what you see. When a date is selected, Stage View focuses on information for that day. If no date is selected, you can review information across all available days.
3. Move between tabs
Use the tabs to switch between the main kinds of information available for the selected venue or room.
Important
The visible tabs may vary depending on:
- Roles
- Permissions
- Whether you are viewing a venue or a room
- What information has been shared with you
The Tabs
General Info
The General Info tab gives you a practical overview of the selected venue or room.
Depending on what has been added, this can include:
- venue description or advance text
- address and map
- phone number, website, or email
- connected rooms
- venue documents
- a summary of contacts
- a summary of performances or shows
This tab is the best place to start if you want an overall understanding before you move into more detailed tabs.
Performances
The Performances tab helps you review the performances connected to the selected venue or room. Depending on the information available to you, you may review the following across one or all days:
- Performances connected to the selected space
- Information grouped by performance
- Shared performance information fields
- Itinerary-related details
- Performance-related contact information
Calendar
The Calendar tab gives you a time-based view of activity connected to the selected venue or room.
It helps you understand how activity is spread across a day, compare timing across the selected space, and gain a schedule-oriented perspective (instead of a list of items.)
Contacts
The Contacts tab shows the stage contacts connected to the selected venue or room.
See who is responsible, how they are connected to the stage, and what contact information is available for the selected context.
Note
Depending on your access and the setup of the festival, this tab may include venue-wide contacts as well as room-specific contacts.
Why Stage View Looks Different for Some Users
Stage View is shared across several workflows, so not everyone has the same tabs or options.
Here are the most common differences:
- Festival admins may see additional tabs such as Settings or Access.
- Festival section users may see a Details tab.
- Performance-related views may only appear when that information exists and has been shared with you.
The main idea stays the same:
Stage View helps you understand a selected venue or room without leaving your current workflow.
Managing access and sharing
Stage View can also help you control what festival sections can see.
Share a venue with festival sections
At venue level, admins can open the Access tab in Stage View to connect festival sections to that venue.
This is useful when a section should be able to open Stage View for a specific venue without giving that same access to every section in the festival.
Share Performance Information
In the Performances tab, admins can click the Access button to manage performance info sharing.
This is the place to control which festival sections can see shared performance information in the festival.
Manage Sharing From Festival Settings
If you prefer to manage access outside Stage View, the same sharing can also be handled from the festival settings areas.
Venues: click Access to manage venue sharing for festival sections.
Info Sections: click Access to manage performance info sharing.
This means you can either manage access while working directly in Stage View or handle the same setup from the broader settings pages.
Mobile note
Stage View is available on smaller screens as well, but in a compact layout where navigation may be simplified compared with desktop.
The full desktop layout provides the clearest overview of tabs such as Calendar and other detailed content.
