Gigs are the heart of Soundcheck. Whether you call them events, shows, or performances, a gig is the central record for one engagement — when and where it is, who’s playing, who’s working, what’s on the schedule, and what’s owed. This page is the map: the board you manage gigs from, the tabbed detail inside each one, and the lifecycle they move through.

The Gigs board — stat tiles, a sticky filter bar, and gig cards

​
The Gigs board

The Gigs board is where every show lives. Across the top, four stat tiles give you the state of your operation at a glance: Below the tiles, a sticky filter bar keeps search and filters in reach as you scroll:
  • Search — match on title, venue, or city (“Search title, venue, city…”)
  • Status filter — Draft, Active, Completed, Settled, Cancelled
  • Type filter — by event type
  • A running result count

​
Three ways to view

A view switcher on the filter bar toggles how gigs are laid out:
Gigs as cards, split into Happening today, Upcoming, and Past sections — each independently paginated so a long history never buries what’s next. Tours appear as folders at the top of this view.

​
What a gig card shows

Each card carries the essentials: title, organization, and venue; a status pill and type; the date (a range for multi-day gigs); and a relative-day chip (Today, Tomorrow, in 3 days, 2d ago). What’s below depends on your role — managers see a Team confirmed progress bar (filled positions vs. total) and the gig’s payout total; crew see their position and their pay.

​
The gig detail

Open any gig to work it. The detail page is organized into tabs:
Tabs appear based on your role and your organization’s enabled features — a coordinator staffing a gig sees a different set than an owner closing one out. The older single Resources tab has been split into the dedicated Venue, Clients, and Inventory tabs.
The Details tab is the heart of it: the Run of Show sits pinned at the top, and the other sections — timeline, attachments, notes, setlist, location, and team — can be rearranged to suit how you work.

​
The lifecycle

Every gig moves through a small set of states. Most follow Draft → Active → Completed → Settled; two off-path states, Cancelled and Archived, cover the gigs that don’t go the distance; and Template holds reusable structures.
  • Draft — still being prepared; sends nothing on its own. Publish it to go live.
  • Active — live for staffing, notifications, and operations.
  • Completed — automatic once the event date passes; moves the gig into closeout.
  • Settled — every payout has cleared and the gig is closed on the books.
  • Cancelled — the gig was called off (from Draft or Active); never gated by close-out.
  • Archived — a legacy filing state for delivered gigs.

What you do with a gig

Create a gig

Name and date to start; venue and the rest come later.

Build the team

Staff org positions with invitations or crew offers.

Run of Show

Lay out the show flow, timeline, and files.

Send payouts

Pay crew by direct deposit or card from Finances.

Group into tours

Fold related gigs into a folder with rolled-up finances.

Close it out

Work the checklist, settle, and capture reviews.

​
Web vs. mobile

Both surfaces show the same gig data. The build-and-configure work lives best on the web; the in-the-moment work lives on mobile. See Mobile app overview for the full parity table, and Chat for the per-gig threads on every gig.

​
Who can manage gigs

Gig coordinators run the operational side — creating, staffing, and scheduling — without payout or P&L access, which stays with owners and admins.

Templates and duplication

Reuse repeatable gig structures.

Draft and publish

Prepare gigs before they go live.
