Tourlog guide

Tours, crew, support acts, venues and contacts

These are the building blocks you reuse across shows. Create each once, then pick them from lists.

Tours

A tour is an optional container for a run of shows.

The tour list

How to: create a tour

  1. Open Tours and tap New tour.
  2. Enter Name.
  3. Enter Planned start and Planned end.
  4. Add Notes if you like.
  5. Save.

Choose the tour in a show's Tour field (when creating or editing the show).

A tour page

A tour page shows:

  • Tour rollup: how many Shows, the Planned dates and the Actual dates.
  • Lineup: the tour's support acts. Tap + Add support act, drag to Reorder, set each act's set
    start and end, or Archive one.
  • Linked shows: every show on the tour.

Tip: Shows that follow the tour's lineup pick up its changes. A show whose support-act times you
set by hand does not.

Crew

The pool of people who travel.

The new venue form

A venue's page

A venue's page

Two tabs: Overview, and Play history (every previous show there). A Navigate link opens driving
directions. Crew get Google Maps and Waze buttons.

Tip: Aliases are the other names a venue goes by. They help match incoming mail and CSV rows to
the right venue.

Tip: The timezone lives on the venue. Every time on a show is displayed in it, so set it correctly
for venues abroad.

A website like venue.nl is saved as https://venue.nl.

Contacts

Anyone you might need to phone.

The contacts list

Crew see every contact linked to their show and its venue, each with Call and WhatsApp. Use search to
find a contact by name, role, venue, phone or email.

Archiving and restoring

Crew, acts, venues, tours and contacts all have an Archive button and an Active / Archive switch on
their list. Archived records disappear from pickers but stay on the shows they were already on.
Restore brings them back. Delete permanently exists only in the archive view and is refused while
something still depends on the record, for example a venue that still has shows.
