What is Stage View?

Stage View gives you a single place to understand what is happening in a venue or room during a festival.

A Quick list of what it's good at

Checking venues or rooms for:

  • Calendars and practical information
  • Details of connected performances
  • Stage contacts
  • Venue documents

 

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.

The stage view button is in the upper right of the Venues page.

Use Case in Festival Venues

Try Stage View when you are already working with the festival’s connected venues, and want to move directly into a stage-focused overview.

From the Festival's Scheduler

Select Scheduler from your festival's sidebar.

Then change the view to Stage View in the upper right.

Use Case in the Festival Scheduler

Try Stage View when you are scheduling work and want to switch from a broad calendar view to a focused venue or room view.

From a Festival Section's Dashboard

To see the Stage View in a Festival Section, the section must first receive access.

Once a festival section has access, the View button will appear in the "Venues" area of the festival section's Dashboard.

Still can't find it?

A festival admin may be required to grant access to the desired festival section.

The available selection of venues and rooms will be dependent on the specific access that was given to the festival section.

Use Case for Festival Sections

Try Stage View when you want an overview of the venue information and performance context relevant to that section.

 

The General Workflow

While Stage View holds a lot of information, the general workflow is straightforward.

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 and Access
  • Whether you are viewing a venue or a room
  • What information has been shared with you

The Tabs

Here are a few tab types you might find.

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

General Info is the best place to start if you want an overall understanding before moving on to more detailed tabs.

Performances

The Performances tab helps you review the performances connected to the selected venue or room. 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

 

To access that information, use the selector near the top of Stage View's Performances tab.

No Performances in Stage View?

The Performances tab is only available when related information exists, and, if necessary, if that information is shared with you.

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 never changes:

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.

Sharing a Venue With Festival Sections

Access can be given from the Stage View of the Venues page.

Your Festival's Sidebar

The Access tab in the Stage View for the Venues Page

Access can also be given from your festival's settings in Venues under Festival Setup. The access button is in the upper right.

Festival Settings

  The Access button

Limit Access When You Can

Try the Access feature when a Festival Section should be able to open Stage View for a specific venue without giving that same access to every section in the festival.

Sharing 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

Sharing can also be handled from your festival's Settings.

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.
