- **Calendar**: every hold and show on each room and stage
- **Holds and challenges**: hold, challenge, confirm, release and take the date
- **Needs attention**: the holds and deals someone needs to act on now

## Make Offers With Past Fees and a Suggested Range Beside You

Start an offer from a template or reuse your last one. See what you paid this act before and the fee range Fai suggests, email the offer to the agent and note their answer. When the agent accepts, the act is booked onto your event, and you can undo it.

- **What you paid before**: past fees for the act beside the offer
- **Suggested fee range**: a range from Fai to check your offer against
- **Counter-offers**: each answer from the agent kept with the offer
