Using the "In The Night" Switch for Late Show Start Times

When a show's start time is after midnight, it technically takes place the next day. The In The Night switch provides the option to make this visible in your ABOSS Calendar and iCal/Google Calendar.

1. What Is the "In The Night" Switch?

The In The Night switch adjusts how showtimes are displayed when an event starts after midnight, ensuring the event is shown on the correct day according to its start time.

Note: This does not affect your Dashboard / Overview.

2. When to Use the "In The Night" Switch

For example:

  • Your artist is playing at a festival on Friday, and the start time is 12:30 AM.

  • Technically, the show occurs on Saturday, 12:30 AM.

  • On the contract, you may want to display Friday, 12:30 AM.

  • In the Calendar, you want to display Saturday, 12:30 AM.

The In The Night switch allows you to handle this situation.

3. How to Enable the "In The Night" Switch

You can enable the In The Night switch within the event tab or when adding a new booking. This ensures the Calendar reflects the correct date for events starting after midnight.

4. Calendar and Notification Visibility

With the In The Night switch enabled, your ABOSS Calendar and iCal/Google Calendar will display the correct date of the event (for example, the 23rd of December for a show starting at 12:30 AM on the 24th of December). You will also receive notifications at the right time if alerts are set.

5. Important Notes

  • The In The Night switch only affects how the event appears in your Calendar and external calendars (iCal/Google Calendar).

  • The event’s date on your Dashboard / Overview remains unchanged.
