Call them what you call them: rename 'crew' per event

“Crew” is the 1pm default, and it’s a reasonable one, but it isn’t what your team calls itself. A gala runs on volunteers, a hotel runs on staff, a conference leans on suppliers and contractors, and plenty of events just have a team. Each event now lets you set your own word, and that word follows through everywhere the event is shown.

One Wording section, two boxes

Edit an event and you’ll find a new Wording section with two fields:

  • Crew, plural is the word for the group: volunteers, staff, suppliers, team.
  • Crew, singular is the word for one of them: volunteer, staff member, supplier, team member.

There are two boxes on purpose. English plurals aren’t a tidy “add an s”: one “staff member” is a group of “staff”, one “person” is several “people”. Telling 1pm both means every sentence reads naturally, a heading says “Staff” while a line about one of them says “this staff member”. Leave either box blank and it falls back to the default (“crew” / “crew member”).

Type lowercase. Most labels appear mid-sentence (“assign this volunteer”, “no suppliers yet”), and where the word starts a heading 1pm capitalises the first letter for you, so you never keep two versions of the same word.

It re-labels the whole event

Save your wording and “crew” is replaced across that event: the planner’s own screens, the share link your people open on the day, the printed and PDF run of show, and the emails 1pm sends, such as share-link invitations. The change applies on the next page load, so a teammate with the event already open just needs a refresh.

It’s per-event by design. A charity fun run can say “Volunteers” while the corporate dinner next door says “Suppliers”, both from the same account. Duplicate an event or save it as a template and the wording comes along.

It plays nicely with RSVPs

If the event also collects RSVPs, the audience is guests as well as crew, so the combined heading leads with guests and then uses your word: set the plural to “Volunteers” and the section reads “Guests & Volunteers”. Guests stay first, your word slots into the second half.
