Admin Area
The Admin area is where event planners add, edit and manage events & crew.
When you sign in to 1pm, you land on the events list. This is the heart of the app. From here you can create events, jump into the run sheet for any one of them, manage your crew and branding, and look after your billing. This article gives you a quick tour of what's on the screen and where each section sits.
The events list
The events list is your home base. It shows every event in your account, with upcoming events first. Clicking any event opens the planner, which is where you actually build the run of show.
What's on the page:
A row for every event, showing the event name, date, status, and the people you've assigned as Client and Organizer.
A New event button in the top right. Click it to open an inline form and create a new event.
A search box. Type a few characters of an event name and the list filters live as you type.
A Show old events checkbox. By default the list hides events whose date has already passed so you stay focused on what's coming up. Tick this box to bring the historical events back into view.
A Status filter dropdown. Narrow the list to a particular pipeline status, for example only Confirmed events, or only Enquiry events. The available statuses are Enquiry, Tentative, Confirmed, Cancelled, and Completed.
A pager at the bottom. The list shows 25 events per page. Most planners never see the pager because their next thirty days fits on a single screen, but it's there for the long tail.
Header navigation
The bar across the top of the page is your main navigation. From left to right:
The 1pm logo or your brand logo. Clicking it always takes you back to the events list.
Events. The page you've been looking at.
Crew. Your address book. This is where you add and manage the vendors and crew members you'll assign to timeline items. Inside 1pm we use the word "crew" interchangeably with "vendor" because it reads more naturally on event day.
Branding. Custom colors and logos that change how your crew sees the live run sheet. Set up a theme once, apply it to events, and your crew sees a branded view instead of generic 1pm chrome. Useful if you run events under a studio name, or if you want a specific event to feel like the client's brand.
Billing. Your subscription, payment method, plan, and invoices. Billing is handled through Stripe's secure customer portal, which opens when you click Manage billing and payment.
Your email address. A read-only label so you can confirm which account you're signed in as. Useful if you have a couple of accounts open in different browsers.
Sign out.
On a phone or in a narrow window, the navigation collapses into a hamburger menu icon in the top right. Same items, just stacked.
The verify-email banner
If you haven't verified your email yet, you'll see a yellow banner across the top of every page prompting you to verify. You can dismiss it for the current browser session, and it will come back next time you visit. You can keep using 1pm without verifying. Verifying is what lets you reset your own password later if you forget it.
Creating your first event
The fastest way to feel at home in 1pm is to make a real event and add a few timeline items to it.
Click New event. Fill in the name, the date, the venue or space, and pick a Client and an Organizer if you have crew already added. Save. The new event appears at the top of the list and you can open it to start building the run sheet.
If you don't have any crew added yet, that's fine. You can leave Client and Organizer blank and come back to fill them in once you've added contacts in the Crew section.
