Send the day sheet

The day sheet is the one message that tells everyone what today looks like: where the venue is, the schedule from load in to load out, the drive, the hotel, the guest list and the day’s notes. Tourouter sends it to everyone on the list, by text and by email. Nobody needs an account or the app to get it, which is how the driver and the local crew stay in the loop.

What is on it

• The venue, or the day’s name on a day without a show, with the address
• Day Schedule: every time, in the local time of the venue, with padded drive times
• Lodging: the hotel, its address, check in and check out, and a map link
• Guest List: who is approved and who has asked
• Notes: the day notes
• Directions to Venue

It sends itself every morning

Every date on a tour gets a day sheet, show days, travel days and days off alike. It goes out on its own in the first hour of that day, in the local time of the place the band will be.

Who gets it

• Everyone on the team’s day sheet list. Band and crew who join the team are on it from the start. Anyone else, like the driver or a local runner, can be switched on from their contact.
• If the tour has a touring party, only the people out on that date. See Invite your band and crew.
• They get it by email if they have an email address and by text if they have a mobile number, or both.
• On a Tour Package, each band’s own list gets it.

Push notifications

People with the app also get push notifications, so they hear about a change without waiting for the next day sheet:

• Schedule and day changes: lobby calls, lodging, venues and cancellations
• Guest requests and Guest decisions
• Reminders: before the day starts, and before any time marked Notify the team
• Day sheets: when someone sends the day sheet by hand

Each person chooses which of these they want in the app: tap your picture at the top to open Settings, then Notifications, and pick under Push me about. What changed while you were away waits in the Inbox, the icon next to your picture.
