About This Article
Automatically populate an event with a complete set of assignments, users, rooms, and more. That's the power of timeline templates. The focus of this article is on Timeline Template Creation. To find out how to add templates to an event, click here.
Where The Timeline Templates Are
From your group dashboard, click Settings in the sidebar. In the menu that appears to the right of the sidebar, click Timeline located under Templates.
Creating a New Timeline Template
To get started, click the Create action button on the upper-right side of the page.
Enter a name for your template, select the type, and then click Create.
Types
For more info on the timeline template types, click the "Click Here" text in the Create new Timeline Template pop-up. For quick reference:
- Absolute Time: Define all times explicitly.
- Relative to Show Start: enter all times as hours and minutes before and after the show's start.
- Relative to Production Start: Enter times as hours and minutes before and after production starts.
Now you can add assignments to the Timeline Template as you would in an event's Timeline.
The template can also facilitate multiple days. By clicking Update Days in the upper right, you can add up to 3 days before and up to four days after the first day. You can use the Show Day checkboxes to indicate which days there will be a show.
To edit the resulting event's invited Groups and Teams, click Update Groups. To edit the invited members, click Update Members. To manage Event Groups for the resulting event, click Update Event Group.
To add a room booking to the timeline template, click Book Room beneath the bottom right of the timeline preview pane.
Once you add everything you need, your new template will be ready. To find out how to add the template to an event, please read this article.
