Support for Artists?

[Mike V]

Looking for the perfect event plugin and I think I’m close with your pro-version.

My calendar would have different artists at different venues. Is there a way to assign an artist to an event now? It looks like you can customize venue and everything else, but if I want to maintain a list of artists so it would be easy to see upcoming events for that artist and what locations etc, what would the best way of doing it be?

Bonus question – if you have a large number of venues, will the gui allow you to filter them (as opposed to a dropdown) to keep it manageable?

Thanks!

Howdy!

You can setup your artists as “Event Organizers” from the sound of it. These are a built-in feature of the plugin, there are basically just whoever is responsible for a given event, or at least the name behind it. They are not directly tied to agiven venue. However, if you wanted to associate the two an easy way to do that would be to preface their names with the venue. For instance if you have a “Melbourne” venue then artists at that venue could be “Melbourne > Artist Name”. But, there might not be a need to tie those together either, since you can select venues and organizers independant of each other.

Bonus question – if you have a large number of venues, will the gui allow you to filter them (as opposed to a dropdown) to keep it manageable?

Yes, both the venues and organizers have a handy search function. Just start typing in the name and it will narrow down the results instantly.

Does that make everything clear in your mind? Any other questions I can help you with?
