- Stage specs filled in from each rider
- Generators fuelled and each zone powered
- Effects and rigging signed off before doors

## Give each stage its plot, input list and changeovers

Each stage gets the stage plot, input list and power for each act, filled in from their technical rider. Plan the changeover between acts and call the crew for it on the running order. Your stage manager then knows who is needed and when.

- **Stage specs**: plot, inputs and power for each act
- **From the rider**: filled in from each technical rider
- **Changeover plans**: with crew calls on the running order

## Keep each generator fuelled and each zone powered

Plan your generators and the loads in each zone, from the stages to the trader pitches on your power sheet. Keep a fuel log and send your power crew on refuel rounds. You get an alert before a generator runs low.

- **Power plan**: generators and loads for each zone
- **Fuel log and refuel rounds**: a record of each refuel
- **Low-fuel alerts**: before a generator runs low

## Sign off effects, rigging and structures before doors

Keep a register of each pyro, laser, drone and confetti cue. Each one carries its licensed operator, its permit and its exclusion zone on your site plan. The firing plan sits on your running order, and you sign off each effect before doors. Rigging points, stages and structures get timed inspections, with sign-off and their full history.

- **Special effects register**: pyro, lasers, drones and confetti for each cue
- **Licensed operators**: checked against their documents
- **Rigging and build sign-off**: inspections for rigging points, stages and structures

## Get all your teams online and faults fixed fast

Take connectivity orders from each zone and team, such as your traders, box office and press, and see your coverage on a map. Anyone on site can report a fault from a link, so your network team can find it and fix it.

- **Connectivity orders**: for each zone and team
- **Coverage map**: where your network reaches
- **Fault reports**: from a link anyone on site can open

## Stream your sets to fans who cannot be there

Plan your stream schedule from your running order, and see from their contracts which acts you have the rights to stream. Embed the stream on your event page, so fans watch where they buy their tickets.

- **Stream schedule**: from your running order
- **Streaming rights**: for each act, from their contract
- **On your event page**: the stream where fans buy their tickets

## Questions About Production and Technical

### Production & technical

#### Where does a stage spec come from?

From each act's technical rider. The stage plot, input list and power fill in from it, ready for your production team to check.

#### Do effects operators need their licence on file?

Yes. Each effect names its licensed operator, and their licence is checked against the documents they added for their shifts.

#### Which acts can I stream?

The acts whose contracts give you streaming rights. You see each act's streaming rights beside your stream schedule.

#### How do you record rigging inspections?

Each inspection keeps its time, the person who signed it off and its full history, so you can show what was checked and when.
