Using the Time Schedule Function
The Time Schedule function in ABOSS helps the artist and crew know exactly when they need to arrive at the venue, do the soundcheck, and have their meals. This guide will show you how to effectively set up and manage the Time Schedule.
Setting Up the Time Schedule
Open the Advancing Tab:
Navigate to the event and open the 'Advancing' tab.
Time Schedule is in the top right.
Start Planning:
Enter the times and add a title for each activity.
Press Enter or click the green arrow to confirm. A new line will be added, allowing you to enter the next item.
Managing the Schedule Order
Automatic Sorting:
Do not worry about the order of the schedule. If you forget to add an entry, just add a new line. After refreshing the page, the schedule will be in the correct order.

Additional Tips
Time Format:
When entering a time, use the 24-hour format with four digits. For example:
1 AM should be entered as 01:00.
8 PM should be entered as 20:00.
Day Start Time:
In Advancing Time Schedule, a new day starts at 06:00. All hours before this are considered part of the previous day. This helps manage events that start in the evening or late at night. For example:
22:00 - 23:00 Soundcheck
00:30 - 02:30 Showtime
If ordered purely by numbers, showtime would appear before the soundcheck, causing confusion.
Ordering Across the 06:00 Mark:
If the order of the schedule is incorrect because it crosses the 06:00 mark, you can add a prefix to order the schedule correctly. See the examples below:
Prefix the times by numbering them to maintain the correct order.
Refresh the page to see the adjusted order.
By following these steps and tips, you can ensure that the Time Schedule is accurately set up and easily understandable for the artist and crew.
