The Advance checklist lives on each show's Advance screen (Tour > Advance > the show), split into the tiles for each part of the day (Schedule, Contacts, Parking, arrival + hotel, Venue, Security, local + weather, Settlement + comps). Every question, by section opens all 17 sections of questions for the venue.
IT TALKS TO THE DAY BOTH WAYS:
- Anything the day already has shows in the checklist, live, marked on the day: schedule times, contacts, the hotel, Wi-Fi, amenities, Hookups, Show info, and lines in the Travel notes. Change it on the day and the checklist shows the change.
- Each section opens with On the day now: what that part of the day already says, including text typed by hand (the Dressing rooms card, the Catering card, the Travel notes), so nothing on the day is hidden from the checklist.
- Change an answer in the checklist and you change the day.
- When the day has two of something (two load-ins, two soundchecks), the checklist doesn't guess which one a question means; you'll see both in On the day now.
CONFIRMED ANSWERS GO STRAIGHT TO THE DAY:
When you confirm an answer (type it in, or tick one the venue or ATOM filled in), it goes to its one home on the day by itself. There is no separate "Fill the day" step any more. While you're typing in a box, nothing goes to the day yet; your answer goes when you leave the box, and a changed answer updates the contact it made instead of adding another.
- Times (load-in, soundcheck, doors, curfew, meals) → the Schedule.
- Contacts (production, promoter, runner, security, settlement...) → Local contacts.
- Wi-Fi network and password → the Wi-Fi list on the Venue tab.
- Showers, laundry, towels → the Amenities yes/no on the Venue tab.
- Dressing rooms → Dressing rooms on the Venue tab.
- Catering → Catering & Runner on the Venue tab. Runner details → Catering & Runner, and the runner's name and cell → Local contacts.
- Shore power and water → Hookups (prints on the day sheet and the driver pack).
- Bus and trailer, parking, arrival, driver → the Travel tab's Notes, under "ADVANCE, Parking + arrival" (prints as Arrival + parking).
- Capacity, billing, age limit, support act → Show info.
- Hotel → the Hotel tab, only if the day has no hotel yet.
- Security, local info (hospital, pharmacy), weather plan → labelled blocks in the day's Notes.
- Merch details → the Merch deal's notes.
Status questions (tech pack received, final confirmations) and money questions (budgets, settlement numbers) stay in the checklist. Money questions only show to people with Money access.
NOTHING GETS OVERWRITTEN:
If the day already says something different, the day wins and the difference shows at the top of the checklist: "Schedule says 19:00 · Advance says 7:30 PM", with Keep the day or Use this. Keep the day is remembered, so it won't ask again.
PENDING ANSWERS:
Answers the venue sent (their advance form) or that ATOM knows from the venue directory arrive as pending. They don't touch the day until you confirm them.
