Plan your run of show and who calls it

Open the run of show

Open the event, select Management, then select Run of show in the list of sections.

Note: Every timed cue for the day is listed stage by stage, with Whole site for cues such as doors and curfew. If Run of show is not in the list, select More sections and open it there.

Choose the day and stage

Choose the day in Day, and optionally one stage in Stage.

Note: A red badge beside them counts the cues that need a check. Day at a glance opens everything else happening that day.

Ask Fai to draft the run of show

Select Ask Fai to draft the run of show, choose Which days and Changeover between sets, then select Draft it.

Note: Fai builds doors, soundchecks, sets, changeovers and curfew from your schedule, stages, opening hours and advancing. Nothing is saved yet, days you locked are left alone, and sets that already have a cue are skipped.

Save the cues you keep

Untick any cue you do not want, then select the save button, for example "Save 6 cues".

Note: Saved cues show Drafted by Fai so your team can tell them apart. On a day with no cues yet, Let Fai draft it from your schedule opens the same dialog.

Add a cue

Select Add cue, enter the Start time and What happens, choose the Stage, then select Add cue.

Note: Fai works out the type of cue from its name. Under More details you set the day, the length, the departments who act on it, who calls it and notes for the crew.

Tip: Tick After midnight (early hours of the next day) for a cue in the early hours after a late show, so it stays on this show day.

Change or move a cue

Select Edit on a cue to change it, or Move to move it by minutes.

Note: Enter a minus number to move it earlier, and tick the box to move the cues after it by the same amount, to move the rest of that stage's day with it. Cues already done or skipped stay where they are.

Try it

Lock the day when the plan is final

Select Lock this day beside the stage, then confirm.

Note: Nobody can add, change, move or remove that stage's cues until someone selects Unlock, and calling cues on show day still works. Locking Whole site locks every stage for that day.

Name your show callers

Under Show callers, select Add show caller, choose the Team member and the Stage they call, then select Add show caller.

Note: A show caller can call cues and lock or unlock their stage, and nothing else. Choose Every stage for someone who calls the whole site; owners, admins and producers can always call cues.
