Gigs

Manage a gig after it is created

Creating a gig is only the beginning. The gig details page becomes the shared place to keep the plan current, answer questions, confirm people, attach documents, and follow up after the event.

Use the gig page as the command center

The gig page is the shared record for the event. It keeps the plan, people, documents, comments, reminders, and follow-up in one place.

When someone joins later or needs to double-check a detail, the gig page should tell the story clearly enough that they do not have to search through old texts.

AreaWhat it answers
DetailsWhat is happening, where it is happening, when it starts, and who owns the gig.
LineupWho is invited, who accepted, which spots are still open, and who is being considered.

Update details when the plan changes

Changes happen. A venue may move the start time, a door time may be added, or a location note may become important. Updating the gig keeps everyone looking at the same plan.

Use clear, practical language. People need to know what changed, not read a long explanation.

  • Update date, time, location, or title when the public plan changes.
  • Update pay details when the agreement changes.
  • Add notes for load-in, parking, dress code, backline, or special instructions.
  • Use comments for context that should stay visible to the gig team.

Do not bury major changes. If a change affects whether people can attend or perform, update the gig and also message the people who need to know.

Manage people, openings, and applications

The lineup section helps you see who is already committed, who still needs to answer, and where you still need help.

If the gig has open positions, you can use opening queues and Marketplace openings to invite or review people in a more organized way.

  • Check accepted, pending, declined, and open spots before assuming the lineup is complete.
  • Invite a specific person or group when you already know who you want.
  • Use openings when you want eligible people to apply or be invited in order.
  • Review applications from the gig or opening page when the gig owner supports it.

Use comments, reminders, and documents

Many gigs need more than a date and address. Charts, contracts, set lists, stage plots, reminder notes, and timeline details are all easier to manage when they stay with the gig.

Add only what people truly need. A focused gig page is easier to trust than one filled with unrelated files or old notes.

  • Attach useful documents such as PDFs, charts, spreadsheets, or planning files.
  • Add comments when a decision or detail should stay with the gig.
  • Use reminders for important deadlines or preparation tasks.
  • Review old attachments after a change so people do not follow the wrong version.

Close out the gig afterward

After the gig, Gigditty may ask for review or payment follow-up. This is when the event becomes useful history instead of just an old calendar item.

Taking a minute to complete the follow-up helps future recommendations, trust signals, and finance records stay useful.

  • Confirm whether expected payment happened.
  • Leave fair feedback about the people, group, or host involved.
  • Note issues while they are still fresh.
  • Check Finance if the gig created paid, pending, or expense records.

History matters. A well-managed past gig can help you remember agreements, understand relationships, and make better booking decisions later.
