Creating an event

Updated April 21, 2026

Most events are created from a template — it's faster and more consistent. First-time? Use this full walk-through.

1. Pick a venue

Under Events → Venues, make sure the venue is on file. Add a new one if not — load-in and parking info live here and will auto-populate on every event there.

2. Create the event

Events → New Event. Required fields: name, date, start/end time, venue. Optional fields worth filling: event type (broadcast, concert, corporate), description, and internal-only notes.

Leave the event in Draft status while you build it out.

3. Add positions

Click Add Position and specify what you need: title (e.g., "Camera Op"), skill requirement, certification requirement, quantity, pay rate, and call time (defaults to event start).

4. Add equipment and documents

Attach run sheets, scripts, site maps, and safety briefings under Documents. Equipment needed? Add it under Equipment so workers see what to bring.

5. Move to Open

Flip status from Draft to Open when you're ready to staff. Only Open (and later, Confirmed) events appear on the staffing board.

6. Staff it

See The staffing board for drag-drop staffing and Sending offers for notifying workers.
