Piloter la production

Check your running order for clashes before show day

Festival programmers and production managers rebuild the running order many times as set times, flights and stages change. The running-order checks read the whole day every time it changes and point at the clash before an act, a stage manager or the curfew finds it on the day.

Have Fai check each day of your event's run of show for overlapping sets, short changeovers, an act booked on two stages, flights that land after soundcheck, sets outside a stage's hours or past curfew, and riders a stage cannot meet. Each problem comes with up to two fixes Fai has tried against the rest of the day, which you apply in one tap and can undo.

Catching clashes in your running order before show day
Durée

Avant de commencer

  • You are an owner, admin or producer on the event. The event's Operations page opens for those roles only.
  • The day has a run of show with its sets, soundchecks and curfew.
  1. Open the checks

    Open the event, select Operations, select Run of show, then go to Running-order checks under the day's stages.

    Remarque: The button beside the day, such as 3 problems to check, takes you there. The checks run again whenever the run of show changes.

  2. Read each problem

    Read each problem, marked Serious, Check or Minor.

    Remarque: Arrival and departure times come from the travel bookings, or from the advance when there is no booking. A problem with no fix says what to change instead, such as the travel booking.

  3. Apply a fix

    Select the button that starts with Fix:, check which cues move and where to, then select Apply fix.

    Remarque: Fai tried each fix against the rest of the day first, so it never adds a serious problem. Select Undo in the message straight after to put the cues back.

  4. Set your timing rules

    Select Timing rules, enter each stage's shortest changeover and its opening and closing times, then select Save.

    Remarque: Also set how long an act needs between two appearances and how long before a call it should be on site. A stage's changeover and hours are part of the stage, so Stages shows the same values.

  5. Draft the call times

    Optional: select Draft call times, then open Today to approve each message.

    Remarque: Fai drafts each act's load-in, soundcheck, changeover, stage call and set, and each department's cues, by email and by text where there is a mobile number. Nothing is sent until you approve it, and a moved cue drafts it again.

Ou faites-le faire pour vous

Fai reads the problems on any day with their fixes, applies a fix after you confirm, changes the timing rules, and drafts each act's and each department's call times for you to approve on Today. She never moves a cue on a locked stage or one already called on the day.

  1. Change the stage

    In Stages, open the stage, open Changeover and opening hours, enter the times, then save the stage.

    Remarque: The closed days of a stage are set in Timing rules, which knows the event's days.

Fai changes a stage's changeover, opening and closing times and closed days when you ask, after you confirm.

Questions que vous pourriez avoir

Why can a fix not be applied?
The stage and day are locked, a cue in it has already been called on show day, or the run of show changed since the fix was worked out. Unlock the stage in the run of show, or use the new fix the checks show.
Does a fix move cues I did not see?
No. The dialog lists every cue it moves and its new time before you apply it.
Do the day sheets show the problems?
Yes, in the dashboard: each day sheet shows the problems that touch its own cues. Day sheets you share by link never show them.
How does Fai know a stage cannot meet a rider?
Fai compares the act's technical rider with the stage's technical specs in Stages, including lines such as No drum riser. Hire it, agree a substitute with the act, or move them to a stage that has it.
What if two of us change the timing rules at once?
The second save does not overwrite the first. Your changes stay in the dialog, and saving again replaces your teammate's.
