About J.SHOW

Welcome Legends!

J.SHOW is your all-in-one Tour Production App — built for artists, agencies, and live event pros who are ready to streamline the chaos! From planning shows and coordinating teams to tracking deals, generating contracts, and managing logistics — J.SHOW brings it all into one beautifully organized digital space.

Whether you’re an independent artist or a full-blown agency repping multiple acts, J.SHOW gives you the structure, flexibility, and control to keep your show on the road — and your head in the creative game.

We offer two types of Platforms, the Artist Platform and the Agency Platform.

Both Platforms come with their own customizable sub-domains (eg. xyz.j.show).

About the Agency Platform

Are you an Agency working for multiple Artists? Start here!

If you are managing more than a few Artists, getting an Agency Platform is the foundation of your operations. From here, you can add any number of Artist Platforms.

All Artist Platforms connected to a particular Agency Platform share a centralized Database for Venues, Promoters, and Hotels, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

The price for an Agency Platform is 499€ net / Year

Important: The Agency Platform serves as the central hub for your agency, but it does not include any Artist Platforms. A separate Artist Platform is required for each artist you represent. See Pricing Guide for a pricing example.

The Agency Platform is available for desktop browsers only.

Note: Multiple Agency Platforms may be granted access to the same Artist Platform.

About the Artist Platform

The Artist Platform is where the true life of a Tour Production takes place.

The Artist Platform can be created by either Agencies working with multiple Artists, or by independent Artists.

We offer two options for Artist Platforms:

The price for a Standard Artist Platform is 199€ net / Year

The price for a Pro Artist Platform is 349€ net / Year

The Pro Version includes everything the Standard Version has to offer, PLUS the following additional features:

Both available in a full desktop version. The Artist Platform is also available as a limited smartphone version for iOS and Android.

Employee Access and Platform Permissions

Logging into the Agency Platform

The Agency Platform is accessed by logging in via your custom sub-domain.
You can log in using the initial email address used to create the Platform or with an employee account.

Note: Employee accounts can only log in through the Agency Platform — not directly via an Artist Platform.

Inviting New Employees

To invite an Employee to your Agency Platform and assign them access to specific Artist Platforms:

Login to Agency Platform.

Select EMPLOYEES from the top navigation.
You will see a list of all current employees.

Click the icon in the ‘Employees’ box.

Enter their email address, check if they should have ADMIN rights, and select the Artist Platforms they should have access to.

Click SEND — they will receive an email invitation to join.

Who is considered an ‘Employee’?
Anyone who works for the Agency but is not part of the Touring Production Team of Artists.

Managing Employees and Their Access

The EMPLOYEES tab is only visible to the Agency Platform Owner and any Employee with Admin Rights.

Inside the EMPLOYEES tab, you’ll see a list of all Employees associated with the Agency.
By clicking next to a name, you can:

Employee Admin Permissions

Employees with Admin Rights on the Agency Platform can also:

Accessing Artist Platforms

Employees can only access Artist Platforms they’ve been explicitly assigned to.

By default, this grants them Admin Rights on those Platforms — unless they already have a registered Profile with different permissions.

If the Employee Also Has a Profile

If the same email address is used to also create a personal Profile on an Artist Platform:

In short: A Profile determines what the employee can see and do on an Artist Platform.

Navigating Between Platforms

Once logged in, Employees can:

Resetting Employee Passwords

Forgot your password? Use Forgot Password? at login. After entering your email, you’ll receive a reset link.

Accessing the Artist Platform

Inviting People to join the Artist Platforms
i.e. Creating Personal Profiles on Artist Platforms

Anyone who is part of the Touring Production Team — or needs access to the J.SHOW App — must be personally invited to join the Artist Platform and create a Profile.
This includes Agency Employees.

How to Invite Someone

Log in to the Artist Platform, or log in to the Agency Platform and select the desired Artist Platform.

Navigate to PEOPLE > +ADD NEW PERSON.
The 'Invite Person' window will appear.

Enter their Name, Email Address, preferred Language, their Function and Access Rights, and check to activate the Crew Booking Tool if needed.

Note: If a specific Function is missing from the dropdown, go to SETTINGS > PEOPLE > FUNCTIONS and enable it there.

Click SEND to issue the invitation, or choose SAVE AND SEND LATER if you want to send it later.

Delayed Invitations

If you chose SAVE AND SEND LATER, you can send all pending invitations at once by clicking SEND ALL INVITATIONS WHICH HAVE NOT YET BEEN SENT at the bottom of the People Roster under PEOPLE > OVERVIEW.
This is helpful if you prefer to finish setting up — such as assigning Travel Parties or adding Event info — before notifying team members.

What Happens Next

The invited person will receive an email invitation to register on the Artist Platform and create their personal Profile.
Once registered, they can login via browser and/or use the J.SHOW App.

Note: Even after sending the invitation — and before the person registers — you can still update their Access Rights and Function under PEOPLE > OVERVIEW.

Note: You can invite someone without sending the official system-generated email.
As soon as a person is added — whether the invitation has been sent, saved for later, or not yet accepted — you can still open their 'Invitation' form by clicking on their name in the system, and manually copy the registration link at the bottom of the window.

Managing People on the Platform

To edit someone else's Profile (as Admin, Agency, or TM with permission):

Go to PEOPLE > click on the person’s name > the Edit Person window will appear > make the necessary changes > click SAVE to finish.

To edit your own Profile:

Click on your name or select PROFILE at the bottom of the Platform > the Edit Person window will appear > make changes > click SAVE to finish.

To temporarily remove someone’s access without deleting their Profile:

Go to their entry under PEOPLE, open their Profile, and click DEACTIVATE PERSON.
They will no longer have access to the Platform but can be reactivated at any time.

Note: You can’t change someone’s Name or Email Address — only they can update that information themselves.

Note: You can only edit other people's Profiles via the desktop version. However, you can edit your own Profile in the App.

Need a spreadsheet of all Team Members?

Export and print a spreadsheet of everyone listed in the Artist Platform by going to PEOPLE > EXPORT.

How to Join an Artist or Agency Platform as an Invitee

Once you’ve been invited to an Artist or Agency Platform, you will receive an email invitation to register.

Open the email invitation.

Click on Join Now.

Choose a password.

Log in to your Platform.

Important: Even if you already have a Profile on one Artist Platform, you must register separately for each additional Artist Platform you’re invited to.
Simply click JOIN NOW in the invitation email, then click REGISTER in the form that opens.
If you use the same email, your Profile details will carry over automatically.

How to Access the Artist Platform

There are several ways to log into your Artist Platform:

Via Direct Link

You’ll receive a personal invitation email containing a direct URL to the Artist Platform you’ve been invited to. Simply follow the link to register or log in.

Via the J.SHOW App

Use the J.SHOW mobile app (iOS or Android) to access your Artist Platform on the go.

Via the Browser App

You can also log in anytime via the web app: app.j.show
This gives you access to your personal App Overview — showing all Artist Platforms you are connected to, whether via browser or app.

Switching Between Multiple Accounts

Both in the mobile app and the browser version at app.j.show, you can stay logged in with up to three (3) different email addresses at the same time. Select “add another account” to log in with additional email addresses.

The Basics

Language Settings

The language displayed in J.SHOW depends on the Platform type and default language, your personal Profile settings, and your device or browser language.

Agency Platform

The Agency Platform interface language will always match your browser language and cannot be changed manually.

Artist Platform

For Artist Platforms, the interface language follows your personal Profile Language setting.
You can update it anytime under PROFILE > Language.

If you're invited to an Artist Platform and haven't yet personalized your Profile, the interface language will default to the one selected by the Platform Admin at the time of invitation.

For Employees: If you access an Artist Platform without a personal Profile, the interface language will automatically follow the global default language — not the browser language.

Global Language Settings

The Global Language of an Artist Platform is defined by the Admin under SETTINGS > PLATFORM > ‘Global’ box.
This setting determines the default interface language for:

Language in the App

Logo and Layout

Before you dive into creating Events and Tour Plans, take a moment to personalize your space on J.SHOW.
Whether you're managing a Band or building a Brand, setting up your visuals properly helps create a sense of Home, clarity, and professionalism from the start.

With just a few adjustments, you can transform your Platform from a blank slate into a fully branded backstage HQ.

Let's go!

Uploading Your Logo

Before uploading, decide how your logo should behave across Light and Dark Mode:

To upload your Platform Logo:

Go to SETTINGS > LAYOUT.

In the 'Logo Upload' box, select a *.png file (max 500kB, min 600px wide) with a transparent background.
The logo auto-resizes to fit the header — crop tightly for best results.

Choose one of the three inversion options above.

Click UPLOAD. Your logo will appear at the top of the platform.

Custom Fonts

To change Fonts for headlines:

Go to SETTINGS > LAYOUT.

In the 'Font for Headlines' box, upload a font file (.ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2) to replace the default font.
You may upload a separate bold version if required.

Check 'Headlines Uppercase' to display headlines in all caps.

Customizing the Color Scheme

To customize the color scheme of the software:

Go to SETTINGS > LAYOUT.

In the 'Colors' box, choose between Default, Classic, or Own Colors.

Use the 'Own Colors' section below to customize each color individually.
A live preview will appear in the 'Preview Own Colors' box on the right.

As soon as you select Own Colors in the main 'Colors' box, your new scheme will go live.

Light / Dark Mode

To toggle between Light and Dark Modes:

Go to the bottom bar of the Platform and click LIGHT/DARK.
A 'Change View' window will appear.

Choose between Automatic (device setting), Dark, or Light mode.

Artist Abbreviation & Global Settings

To check or adjust global display settings:

Go to SETTINGS > PLATFORM.

In the 'Global' box, verify the correct Artist Abbreviation is entered — this will appear in platform headers and export files.

Also check Language, Date Format, and Time Format settings to ensure they match your regional preferences.

Artist Platform: The selected language determines the default for new invitees and affects printed documents (e.g. daysheets, contracts).
You can choose a different language for each invitee at the time of invitation.

Agency Platform: The display language automatically follows your browser settings.

The platform currently supports English and German as available language options.

Event Roster

The Event Roster (EVENTS > OVERVIEW) displays all Events you have permission to view. Color codes allow you to quickly identify the current Status of each Event, both in the Event Title and directly within the Roster.

Status and Default Color Code in Event Roster

*A blue bar next to a box inside an Event indicates recent changes have been made to that section.
These appear individually for each user and disappear once the user has seen the new information.

Creating Databases

Adding Venues

‘Venues’ added to the Venue Database of an Agency Platform will become available to all associated Artist Platforms.

Go to VENUES on top > + ADD NEW VENUE

A new ‘ADD NEW VENUE’ window will appear

Fill out the relevant information, such as address, contact person, capacity, parking, etc.

Smart Autofill: In the “Add New Venue” window, entering the Venue Name and City will automatically fill in the address.

Creating an Event

To create a new 'Event' of any kind on an Artist Platform:

Go to EVENTS.

Click +ADD NEW EVENT.
A 'Select the Date' window will appear.

Choose the desired Event date from the Calendar.
The Basic Information window will open.

Adding Basic Information

To edit the 'Basic Information' box, click on next to it.

To edit an Event Date, click the icon next to Date in the 'Basic Information' box.

A field labeled moved from [Date] because [...] will appear, allowing you to explain the change.
If you don't uncheck the box, the note will be displayed in the 'Basic Information' box in the Event Overview.

Creating Time Ranges: If you've been booked for a festival but are not yet certain of the exact Event Date, use the + DAY feature to select additional possible dates.

Note: In the Event Roster, the date will display as a time period—starting from the earliest to the latest selected date—even if some days in between are skipped.
Once the final date is confirmed, click the icon to select it as the final Event Date.

Important: For the most efficient use of the J.SHOW App, please create a separate Event for each day of a Tour—even for days such as travel or tear-down days.
The + DAY feature should only be used during the planning stage when the exact date is still uncertain.

If you have multiple shows on the same day, add a separate Event for every show and use the + TIME feature to define specific time frames for each show.

The times will then determine the order of Events in the Event Roster.

Note: The time zone will automatically adjust to the venue's local time zone.
Correct time zones are important for calendar syncs and iCal feeds.

Select the Type of Event (e.g. Tour, Festival, Travel, Setup) and the Venue Type (e.g. Club, Stadium, Hall).

Then select the Status of the Event from the dropdown menu.

If you set the Event status to TBA, you can also set an Announce On date and time. The Event will automatically become public at the specified moment.

Note: TBA affects the 'Dates for Website' feature. Once the Event is publicized, it will automatically appear on your website if that integration is enabled.

Whether you want to print Daysheets for multiple Events, print Text, CSV (Excel) with or without Setlists, or subscribe Events to your Calendar

Go to EVENTS > OVERVIEW > EXPORT
An ‘Export’ window will appear.

Choose from the listed options as mentioned above

The Travel Party

Using Travel Party Templates and the Crew Booking Tool Together

Whether you're building from a fixed core team, managing rotating crew, or mixing both — Templates and the Crew Booking Tool work hand in hand to streamline your workflow and make the booking process as efficient as possible.

Travel Party Template

Creating a Travel Party Template

To create a core group or pre-filter a list of desired crew members for a specific Event or an entire Tour:

Go to TEMPLATES > TRAVEL PARTY > + NEW TEMPLATE.

Click + ADD PERSON and select all relevant people from the People Roster.

Click + ADD SELECTED at the top.
All selected people will now appear in the Travel Party Roster.

To rename the Template, click RENAME, enter a new name in the 'Rename' window, and click SAVE.
To delete the Tempate, click DELETE > YES.

Note: Once created, this Travel Party Template will appear in the dropdown menu under PEOPLE > CREWBOOKING.

Applying a Travel Party Template

You have three options for applying a Travel Party setup to multiple Events:

Copy Travel Party Without a Template

If you've manually built a Travel Party inside an Event, you can apply this exact setup to other Events without creating a Template.
In the TRAVEL PARTY tab, click COPY TO EVENTS.

Select all target Events and click COPY TRAVEL PARTY TO SELECTED DATES.

Note: This method is ideal for quick repetition of an existing setup — no template required.

From the Template Section

Go to TEMPLATES > TRAVEL PARTY > APPLY TO EVENTS.

Choose whether to FILL UP or REPLACE the list of people.

Check all relevant Events in the Event Roster.

Click APPLY TEMPLATE TO SELECTED EVENTS to confirm.

Applying Template from Within an Event

Go to EVENTS > select the relevant Event from the Event Roster.

Go to TRAVEL PARTY > TEMPLATE.

Choose the Travel Party Template you want to apply to this Event.

Decide whether to FILL UP or REPLACE the existing Travel Party.
Changes will be applied immediately.

Required Crew per Event Type

To define exactly which roles or functions — and how many of each — are required for each specific Type of Event (e.g. Show vs Festival vs Tour):

Go to TEMPLATES > TRAVEL PARTY > REQUIRED CREW DEPENDING ON EVENT TYPE.

From the dropdown menu, select the type and number of people required for each position within the respective Event Types.

Under the Event Overview > TRAVEL PARTY, you will now see a list of all required positions for that Event Type, which ones are currently filled based on the applied Travel Party, and which are still missing.
If any required positions are unfilled, those will be highlighted in red to alert you that someone is missing.
You can then adjust the Travel Party to ensure all necessary positions are covered — making it easy to prepare every Event with full team coverage.

Manually Adding Travel Party Members

To manually add Artists, Crew, Tour Managers, or any other team members to the Travel Party of a specific Event:

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster under EVENTS.

Go to TRAVEL PARTY in the lower bar and click +ADD.
A list will appear showing all available People from your Roster.

Select the individuals you want to include in the Travel Party.

Click + ADD SELECTED to confirm your choices and populate the Event’s Travel Party.

Travel Party Passive Function

J.SHOW offers a Passive Function for Members who need to be included in the Travel Party so they can access Event details, but who either:

To activate the Passive Function for a specific person:

Navigate to EVENTS > select the relevant Event from the Event Roster > go to TRAVEL PARTY.
In the 'Passive' column, check the box next to the relevant person, based on the following options:

Note: Once a person is marked as 'passive' and appears greyed out in the list, they will no longer be visible to other users in the Travel Party — except for Admins and Agency members.

Uploading Files for Travel Party Members

For a full breakdown on how to upload files for specific members of the Travel Party, please refer to the Uploading Files section.

The Crew Booking Tool

Whether you're staffing a full Tour or filling rotating roles for a one-off Show, the Crew Booking Tool gives Admins and Agencies full control. See who’s available, assign positions per Event, and keep everything flowing—fast and friction-free.

Activating the Crew Booking Tool

The Crew Booking Tool can only be activated with an Admin or Agency Permission Level.

To do so, go to PEOPLE > OVERVIEW > select the relevant Person > an Edit Person window will appear > check the box next to use crewbooking tool.

Visibility & Access Based on Permission Levels:

Providing Availability via Crew Booking Tool

Once the Crewboking Tool is activated, a Crew Member can go to EVENTS > OVERVIEW and will now be able to check their availability ( I am available / I might be available / I am not available) for each Event under available.

Important: If a Crew Member has already confirmed availability for a different Event on another Artist Platform for the same date, a pop-up warning will appear.

This alert notifies them of the scheduling conflict and provides a shortcut: within the same pop-up, they can instantly review and update their availability for all Events occurring on that day across all platforms.
This helps prevent double bookings and gives Crew Members full visibility over their schedule in one place.

When a crew member selects 'I might be available', a comment field will appear where they can provide additional context. This comment will be visible in two places:

Under PEOPLE > CREWBOOKING, by selecting the relevant Function or Travel Party Template from the dropdown. A list of all associated crew members will be displayed, and the comment will appear in the form of ... next to the relevant Event and under the crew member’s name. Click on this icon to view the comment.

Under EVENTS > [Select Event] > TRAVEL PARTY > +ADD — when navigating to the specific crew member, their comment will also be visible there.

Note: As a last-resort workaround, Admins or Agency Personell can submit a Crew Member's availability on their behalf by navigating to PEOPLE > CREWBOOKING, selecting the relevant Function / Template, scrolling to the bottom of the list, and activating the checkbox edit availability. This enables them to manually mark the person’s availability in the roster.
Transparency First: If someone else changes your availability, you will receive an automatic email notification letting you know who made the change and for which Event.

If you've been booked for a specific Event, you will now see a blue mark under booked in the Events Roster.

Crew Booking Tool Notifications when activated:

Confirming Crew Members via Crew Booking Tool

Admins and/or Agency users can confirm Crew Members for specific Events using several methods:

Go to PEOPLE > CREWBOOKING.

Select the relevant Function / Position from the dropdown menu.
You will now see the availability of people for this specific Function or Position across all listed Events.

Conveniently book your Crew or mark that a Person was definitely not booked for a specific Event.

Go to PEOPLE > CREWBOOKING.

Select the relevant Template from the dropdown menu.
This will display the availability of all crew members included in that Travel Party Template — regardless of whether their Crew Booking Tool is activated — across all listed Events.

Conveniently book your Crew or mark that a Person was definitely not booked for a specific Event.

Go to Event Overview > TRAVEL PARTY > + ADD.

You will see all available people for this specific Event, indicated by the green checkmark on the left-hand side.
Unavailable people are marked with , and unsure people with .

Click the blue checkmark to automatically add the corresponding Person to the Travel Party.

Important: If a person has two functions in their Profile, this is the only way to add them with both assigned functions to the Event.

Note: If the option for Permissions Tour Manager has been enabled in SETTINGS > PERMISSIONS, which allows Tour Managers to edit all Events, then Tour Managers can also confirm or cancel people via the Crew Booking Tool.

Note: People with an active Crew Booking Tool can always see all Events in the Event Roster — at least all Event types that are enabled for them.
However, if the Platform’s Visibility of Events setting is activated (SETTINGS > PERMISSIONS > 'Visibility of Events'), they will only be able to open Events they are listed in as part of the Travel Party.

Crew Booking Notifications

If the Crew Booking Tool is activated, users may receive notifications for:

Note: For a detailed breakdown of Crew Booking notifications, please refer to the Crew Booking Tool section.

Specific Event Types

If a crew member is needed only for specific Event Types, below the option use crewbooking tool you can click on notify only for specific events to select which Event Types this Person is needed for. The Person will then only receive Emails about new Events for the selected Event Types.

Note: If the Platform's Visibility of Events is enabled, or the Person has Guest permission, only Events with the corresponding Event Types will be visible in the Event Roster for this Person.

Global Crew Register

The Global Crew Register is visible to all People with Admin, Agency, or Tour Management permissions under PEOPLE > GLOBAL.

Note: People who have opted into the Crew Register always have access to the Global Crew Register, regardless of permission level.

In the Profile Settings, you can activate the checkbox show my contact in global crew register, which lists your name, email address, phone number, functions, and associated Platform(s). For people already invited with the Crew Booking Tool active, the Global Crew Register will be checked by default.

Vehicles

There are several ways to add Vehicles — but most commonly, new Vehicles are added directly within a specific Event.
Once added, the Vehicle is automatically saved to the global Vehicle Database for future use.

Note: Vehicles can only be added in Artist Platforms, not in the Agency Database.

Adding Vehicles in Events

To add Vehicles inside a specific Event:

Go to EVENTS > select the relevant Event from the Event Roster > VEHICLES > + ADD.

You now have two options:

Add a New Vehicle

Click + ADD NEW VEHICLE.

Enter all relevant details, such as Label (required), Vehicle type, Driver, License plate, Number of available seats, Bed availability (if applicable), General comments, etc.

Click SAVE to finish.

Note: The Vehicle will automatically be saved to the global Vehicle Database.

Select an Existing Vehicle

If Vehicles have already been added to the global database, you can choose one from the Vehicle Roster.

To assign passengers to a Vehicle:

Click ADD PERSON under the relevant Vehicle.

Check all Travel Party members on the Roster traveling in this Vehicle.

Click + ADD SELECTED to confirm.
Passenger names will now appear below the Vehicle information.

Once all Vehicles have been added to the Event, you can apply the same setup to other Events.

In the VEHICLES tab of the Event, click on APPLY TO EVENTS.

Select all Events from the Event Roster where you'd like to copy the current fleet (including passengers).

Click COPY VEHICLES TO SELECTED EVENTS to finish.

Note: When copying Vehicles from one Event to another — either via APPLY TO EVENTS or when loading a Vehicle Template into an Event — you’ll be asked whether to REPLACE the existing fleet or FILL UP the current one with additional entries.

The Vehicle(s) will now appear in the VEHICLES tab of the Event.

Important: If you update a Vehicle’s details via , you can check 'Update dataset globally' to apply the changes to all identical entries in the Vehicle database and across all Events — past and future — using that same Vehicle.

Creating Vehicle Templates

For Tours or recurring setups, you can create a fleet of Vehicles using Vehicle Templates — a pre-set group of Vehicles (often with assigned passengers) that can be reused across multiple Events.

The most common way is to create Vehicles directly inside an Event, assign passengers, and then apply this setup to other Events using APPLY TO EVENTS (see above).
Alternatively, you can build reusable templates in advance: Go to TEMPLATES > VEHICLES > + NEW TEMPLATE.

Click + ADD VEHICLE to select a vehicle from the Vehicle Roster, or + ADD NEW VEHICLE to create one from scratch.

To assign passengers inside a Vehicle Template:

After adding a Vehicle, click ADD PERSON to assign passengers from the Global Crew Register.
This is especially useful for Tours with consistent transportation arrangements.

Note: If certain people get off early or join later, you can make individual adjustments inside each Event.

Applying Vehicle Templates to Events

To apply a Vehicle Template to Events, you have two options:

From the Template Section

Go to TEMPLATES > VEHICLES > APPLY TO EVENTS.

Select all relevant Events and click APPLY TEMPLATE TO SELECTED EVENTS.

From the Event Itself

Click on TEMPLATE under the VEHICLES tab in a specific Event to select a predefined Vehicle Template.

A ‘Choose a Template’ window will appear, listing all available Templates.

Choose whether to FILL UP (add to existing Vehicles) or REPLACE (overwrite them).
Passenger assignments from the Template will be carried over and remain editable within the Event.

Adding Vehicles to the Database

To add Vehicles directly to the database (less common method):

Go to VEHICLES > + ADD NEW VEHICLE
A new 'Add New Vehicle' window will appear.

Enter the relevant information such as Vehicle type, License Plate, Number of Seats, etc.

Click SAVE to finish.
The Vehicle will now appear in the Vehicle Roster.

Managing Venues, Hotels and Partners

Adding New Entries

Inside an Event

Click on the icon inside the Venue, Hotel, or Partner box within the Event Overview.
You’ll be redirected to the respective Roster, where you can search for the desired entry.

If it doesn't exist yet, click + ADD NEW at the top of the page.

Fill out the relevant information and click SAVE to finish.
The entry will be automatically applied to the current Event,
and will also be saved to the corresponding Roster — making it available across other Events and Platforms.

Autofill & Duplicate Check (Venues & Hotels only)

Smart Autofill: When adding a Venue or Hotel, entering the Name and City may auto-complete the address fields.

To disable incorrect autofill: Delete the Venue/Hotel Name and manually enter the correct details. Once done, re-enter the correct Name and your changes will be saved.

Duplicate Warning: If an entry with the same Name and City already exists, a notification will appear to prevent duplicates.

Event-Specific Entries & Global Database

Any Venue, Hotel, or Partner added from within an Event is automatically saved to the Global Database — and, if part of an Agency, also becomes available to all linked Artist Platforms.

When editing a Venue, Hotel, or Partner inside an Event, checking the ‘Update dataset globally’ option will also update this entry in the Global Database.

Note: Other Events using the same entry will remain unaffected — they will retain the original version unless manually updated.

Note: For Vehicles, checking ‘Update dataset globally’ will apply the changes to all Events — past and future — that still use the exact same vehicle entry as before the update.

Import Option

If you're migrating from another system, your existing Venue, Hotel, or Partner database can be imported into J.SHOW upon request. Contact support to coordinate your import.

Exporting Rosters

To download a spreadsheet of existing entries, go to VENUES, HOTELS, or PARTNERS and click EXPORT.

Deleting Entries

To delete an entry from the Global Database:
Go to the appropriate tab (e.g. VENUES), click on the entry, and an Edit window will open.

Click DELETE in the bottom left corner.

Fill out relevant CP information.

Note: If you click the icon in any Contact Person (CP) window, a dropdown menu will appear at the top of the CP window—but only if the linked Venue or Partner/Promoter already has contact persons assigned. You can then select one of those existing contacts from the dropdown, and the relevant information will be filled in automatically.
For example, in the CP Venue section, contacts linked specifically to the Venue will be available, while in CP Other, you’ll see contacts from both the Venue and any assigned Partners.

Check add as new contact to the global database if you prefer.

To add additional Contact Persons:

Click the icon inside the CP Other section.

Arrival & Departure

Scenario 1: Entire Travel Party will arrive and/or depart together

Adding Basic Travel Information: Arrival, Departure & Next Event

Use the Basic Travel window if the entire Travel Party is traveling together — either from the same starting location, to the same end location, or continuing to the next Event. No individual breakdowns needed.

To add Basic Travel Information (e.g. Venue, Hotel, Homebase, distance, driving time):

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster in EVENTS > OVERVIEW

Click the icon in one of the following boxes, depending on context:

In the window that opens, fill in/select the relevant From: or To: location

Note: If members of the Travel Party will not travel together or have different locations/times, use Advanced Travel Planning instead.

Adding Homebase Information

In order to add the Homebase of an Artist, and have it be an automatic shortcut option in the basic 'Arrival', 'Departure', and 'Next Event' windows

Go to the Artist Platform in question > SETTINGS > PLATFORM > GLOBAL and provide the 'Homebase' location underneath 'Arrival from'.

Advanced Arrival & Departure

Scenario 2: Members of the Travel Party will arrive and/or depart individually to/from different locations.

Advanced Travel Planning: Arrival, Departure & Onward Journey

Use the advanced travel planning tools to organize how individual members of the Travel Party arrive at, depart from, or travel onward between Events — especially when people move in different ways or groups.

To provide detailed travel information for Arrival, Departure, or Onward Journey:

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster via EVENTS > OVERVIEW
Click the icon in the respective Arrival, Departure, or Next Event box.

In the Basic Arrival/Departure/Next Event window, click PLAN "ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE/ONWARD JOURNEY" INDIVIDUALLY.

You can now enter personalized travel details for individual members or sub-groups of the Travel Party — including departure and arrival times, transportation mode (e.g. Train, Airplane, Nightliner, Car / Van), distances, driving time, etc.

Click SELECT under 'Vehicle' to assign a vehicle that has already been added to this Event — including its passengers.

Click SAVE to confirm changes, or APPLY TO EVENTS to use the same travel configuration in other Events.

Copying Travel Plans:
You can duplicate a vehicle plan from one leg of the journey to another:

Resetting:

To return to the basic version of any travel window, go to the Event’s OVERVIEW > SETTINGS and uncheck 'Plan individually' for the corresponding travel section. Changes will apply automatically (refresh if needed).

Special Note on Vehicle Syncing:

If the Travel Party changes between legs (e.g. someone joins or leaves a vehicle), enable Separate Assignment to decouple the plan. This allows you to adjust the passengers for that specific ride without affecting the global Vehicle setup.

For example, a group of three may arrive together for the first show but add a fourth person to the same car for the rest of the tour.

Adding Flight Information

Quickly and conveniently add Flight Information for all Advanced Arrivals, Departures and Onward Journeys.

Click on Plan "Arrival" / "Departure" / "Onward Journey" Individually in the respective Arrival/Departure/Next Event window

You can still add additional Hotel boxes afterward by clicking on the in the second Hotel box.

Note: You can add up to four Hotels to a single Event.

To edit an Event’s assigned Hotel:

Click the icon inside the Hotel box.
A 'Hotel' window will appear — make the necessary changes and click SAVE.

Note: At the bottom of the window, you can check Update dataset globally to apply your changes to the Hotel entry across all Events where it is used.

Note: Click on in the respective 'Hotel' box, then use the dropdown menu at the top of the 'Hotel' window to specify who the Hotel is for — e.g. artists, crew, or a custom group via manual input.

It also highlights any early check-outs or late arrivals per day.

You can also manually enter the distance from the Hotel to the nearest train station and to the city center/downtown.

To add additional details — such as the reservation number, cancellation deadline, contact person, PIN code, booked through, and booked for — click MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BOOKING in the Hotel window. Once entered, click SAVE to confirm the information.

To print a PDF or CSV for the current day’s rooming:

Click PDF or CSV in the 'Rooming for Hotel "Hotel Name"' window, or use the icon in the Rooming box in the Event Overview.

Note: All versions include guest names, room assignments, check-in/out times, and dates.

Note: When exporting a multi-day rooming list as a PDF or CSV, any person assigned to the same Hotel in multiple, non-continuous time blocks (with gaps in between) will appear in as many separate rows as there are booking blocks. This indicates distinct check-in periods for each time block.

Finishing Event Planning

Finishing Event Planning

If you’ve finished advancing a Show, you can check Planning finished in the 'Basic Information' box at the top left of the Event Overview.

Important: Once this box is checked, all empty fields in the Event will be hidden.
This helps keep the layout cleaner for Admins, Agencies, and Tour Managers once planning is complete.

Note: Activating "Planning finished" will also remove the orange dot indicator from the Event in the Event Roster. The orange dot serves as a quick visual cue that the planning for a show is still in progress.

Printing Daysheets

If the Planning Finished checkbox located below the Basic Information box is checked, then the Daysheet can be printed by all users who can access the Event.

To print the Daysheet, go to EVENTS > select relevant Event > OVERVIEW > DAYSHEET > a Daysheet Preview appears > click on Print

If the checkbox is not checked, only Admin, Agency, and Tour Management users who are part of the Travel Party can print these documents.

The font size of the Daysheet can be adjusted by Admin and Agency either through the Daysheet Preview at the top right of the bar or via SETTINGS > DAYSHEET, where you can also select which elements should be included on the daysheet.

Formatting a Textbox

Here's a complete breakdown of all manual formatting options available inside J.SHOW textboxes.

To create two columns (left- and right-aligned) for a clean overview: Use the L -//- R format.
To separate rows clearly: Use the --- marker between rows.

Input Example:

Arrival -//- 12:00 PM  
---  
Lunch -//- 2:30 PM
      
Rendered Example:

Crew Access & User Profiles

Crew Access & User Profiles: Registration, Invites & Notifications

Getting Started: How to Register

You will receive an email invitation to join an Artist Platform.

Open the email and click JOIN NOW.

You will be prompted to create a password.

Click REGISTER to finish.

You can now log in via browser and/or use the J.SHOW App — either on your smartphone or by visiting app.j.show.

Optional settings:

You can also:

Joining Multiple Platforms with One Email

If you're invited to multiple Artist Platforms using the same email address:

You’ll need to accept each invitation individually by clicking JOIN NOW in every invite email.
If you use the same email address, your existing Profile will automatically be reused — there’s no need to create a new password.
Most of your Profile information will stay unified across Platforms, including your name, contact details, language settings, driver’s license info, and clothing sizes.

However, the following settings are Platform-specific:

In the J.SHOW App:

Go to the ALL EVENTS tab to view all Events across all Platforms you're registered on, grouped by Artist.
If the Crew Booking Tool is activated, you can mark your availability for upcoming Events.
Once you’ve been booked for specific Events, they will appear in the MY EVENTS tab.

Note: There is no limit to how many Platforms you can be invited to using the same email address.

Using Multiple Email Addresses

If you're invited to different Platforms using different email addresses: You can still consolidate all your Platforms inside the J.SHOW App (or app.j.show.):

Go to the menu and click ADD ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Log in using your other email address and password.
All Events from all connected email accounts will now appear in the ALL EVENTS tab, grouped by Artist Platform.

Note: You can combine up to three email addresses in a single App view.

Important: Each email address has its own Profile — these remain separate, even if Events from multiple accounts are visible together in the App.
You’ll need to update contact details, driver’s license info, or language preferences individually for each Profile.

To edit your Profile inside the App, first select the Platform whose Profile you want to update.

Then click on your name or on PROFILE at the bottom of the screen, and make the desired changes.

Deleting Your Profile

If you want to delete your Profile or remove a Platform from your App:

Login to the Platform you want to remove (in the App: first select the Platform you wish to remove).

Click on PROFILE at the bottom of the screen.
The ‘Edit Profile’ window will appear.

Click on DELETE PROFILE.
A warning will appear, reminding you that all associated data on this Platform will be deleted and that you will no longer have access to it.

Click YES to confirm and remove this Platform from your account.
The Platform will no longer be listed in your App.

Important: Deleting your Profile in one Platform does not affect your Profiles in any other Platforms.
Each Artist or Agency Platform manages its own Profile access — so you will remain active on other Platforms unless you delete those individually as well.

You can also decide whether "Crew" and "Guest" are allowed to request.

In the Aftershow / Backstage / Photo box, specify whether users who can only submit requests are still allowed to register for Aftershow, Backstage, or Photo passes.
Also, Select which GL Pass Options are available (Aftershow, Backstage, Photo, or custom).

In the Visibility of Guestlist box, decide whether the complete Guestlist is visible to:

To Do Lists

Every Event has its own dedicated To Do List. You can create and manage To-Dos directly within each Event — go to the 'To Do' box in the respective Event Overview to add tasks, create reminders, and track progress.

Note: By default, To Do Lists are private to the creator and only available to users with a registered Profile.
Only Admin and Agency users can choose to make To-Do Items visible to other Admins or Agency users.

However, visibility can also be enabled for users with Tourmanagement permission under SETTINGS > PERMISSIONS > TO DO, by checking: "Make these tasks visible to people with Tourmanagement permissions as well."

Adding To Do Items to an Event

To add To Do Items in the Event Overview:

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster under EVENTS > OVERVIEW.

Click the icon inside the To Do box.

Choose whether the To Do item should be 'visible for Admin & Agency' or 'only visible to you'.

Note: Without Admin or Agency permissions, this option is not visible, as you can only create To Do items for yourself.

Enter your task in the What’s to do? field and, optionally, choose a Deadline.

Deadline

Once the To Do item is overdue, it will be highlighted in red in both your Dashboard and the Event Overview To Do boxes. A will also appear next to the Event in the Event Roster.
This will trigger daily email reminders for the To Do item creator until the task is marked as completed.

Reminder

To add a personalized Reminder to your To Do items:

In the 'To Do' window, click on ADD under 'Reminder via E-Mail Notification & Calendar Entry'.
A 'To Do E-Mail Notification & Calendar Entry' window will appear.

Click ADD PERSON and select the person(s) to be reminded from the roster. This will also make the Reminder appear in each person’s subscribed calendar.

Then, optionally, set a Deadline for each To Do item and add as many reminders before and after as needed (e.g. 20 days before, 7 days before, 2 days before, 3 days after, etc.).
Email reminders scheduled before the deadline will only be sent on the specified days.
After the deadline, daily email reminders will be sent to everyone on the reminder list until the task is marked complete.

Important: If no Deadline is set, reminders will automatically orient toward the Event Date.

To mark a task as complete, check the box next to the item in the To Do box in the Event Overview.

To edit a task, click the icon next to the item in the To Do box in the Event Overview.

To remove the deadline from a To Do item, click the next to the deadline inside the respective To Do item window.

To 'Notify' a specific person once the To Do item is completed, click ADD and select the relevant person from the roster.

Creating To Do Templates

With To Do Templates, you can create fully structured task lists — complete with deadlines and personalized reminders — and instantly apply them to any Event. Since many tasks repeat across shows and rarely change, this feature lets you reuse your standard workflow with ease, ensuring that every step is covered and every responsible person stays notified — every time.

To add items to the 'To Do' Template box:

Go to TEMPLATES > OVERVIEW.

Select the relevant general Template or create a new one by clicking + NEW TEMPLATE.

Click the inside the To Do box.
A 'To Do' window will appear.

Choose whether the To Do item will be 'visible for Admin & Agency' or 'only visible for you' (this option is only available for Admin / Agency / Tourmanager with permission).

Name the To Do item in the What's to do? field.

Set a Deadline by indicating how many days before or after the Event this task should be completed.

To send email reminders, click ADD under 'Reminder via E-Mail Notification & Calendar Entry'.
A 'To Do E-Mail Notification & Calendar Entry' window will appear.

Click ADD PERSON and select the person(s) to be reminded from the roster.
Then set a Deadline for each To Do item and add as many reminders before and after as needed.

Click SAVE to return to the 'To Do' window.

To notify specific people when the task is completed, click ADD under 'Notify When the Task Is Completed'.

Click SAVE to finish.

Applying To Do Templates

To apply a To Do Template to relevant Events, you have two options:

Go to TEMPLATES > OVERVIEW > Choose Event Overview Template > click APPLY TO EVENTS.

Check 'To Do' to apply this category (and any others) to the Events in question.

Click on SELECT EVENTS.

Check all relevant Events in the Event Roster.

Click on APPLY TEMPLATE TO SELECTED EVENTS.

Go to EVENTS > choose the relevant Event from the Event Roster.

Go to OVERVIEW > TEMPLATE.

Choose the Event Overview Template that contains the To Do List you want to apply to this Event.

Check 'To Do' to apply this category (and any others) to the Event.

Click APPLY to finish.

Private Notes

Private Notes are only available to users with a registered Profile.
If you are logged in via an Agency account (without a personal profile), any text entered in the Private Note box (in the Event Overview) will be visible to all Agency employees — since there's no individual user to associate privacy with.

Adding Private Notes

To add a Private Note inside an Event:

Go to EVENTS > select the relevant Event from the Event Roster > OVERVIEW

Click the icon inside the Private Note box.

You can now add your personal note — visible only to you (if logged in through your own registered profile).

Note: For formatting options, refer to the Formatting a Textbox section.

Radius Clause

If a venue and/or promoter imposes a Radius Clause to avoid competing Events,
this is how you can check whether your other Events fall within the stipulated limits:

Go to EVENTS > select the relevant Event from the Event Roster > SETTINGS > locate the 'Radius Clause' box.

You’ll see three options:

Note: Events that are not Show Dates will automatically be ignored.

Note: Once a Radius Clause is active, you will be instantly notified if another Event violates its conditions.
A warning will also appear inside the specific Event that violates the Radius Clause, flagging the conflict directly in the Event Overview.
Additionally, any violating Event will show a red exclamation mark next to it in the Event Roster

To get a visual overview of all Events and any potential violations: Go to EVENTS > MAPS > locate the 'Radius Clause' box.
Markers shown in red indicate a violation of the Radius Clause.

Song Pools and Setlists

Creating the perfect Setlist has never been this easy.
With J.SHOW, you can effortlessly pool songs, drag and drop your favorites, and build show-ready Setlists in just a few clicks.

Note: The Setlist box within an 'Event Overview' is only available for Events that take place on show days. It will not appear for non-performance days such as Travel, Set Up, Tear Down, or Off Days.

To add Custom Fields:

Go to TEMPLATES > SETLIST.

Click the + inside the Custom Fields box.

Alternatively: In a specific Event, click the icon in the 'Setlist' box, then click the icon inside the Custom Fields box of the 'Edit Setlist' window.

Your new Field will now be available in the 'Create Song' window, as well as in the Formatting Templates.

Then, create a Song Pool for your Artist Platform to use across all Setlist Templates.

To add entries to the Song Database:

Click the + inside the Songs box.

Alternatively: In a specific Event, click the icon in the 'Setlist' box, then click the icon inside the Songs box of the 'Edit Setlist' window.

Fill in all relevant information and click SAVE.

Repeat these steps to build your full Song Pool.

Adding Other Show Segments

You can also add Announcements, Cues, or any special Show Segments — such as intro text, a dance interlude, or a short film. If these include a Duration, they’ll be factored into the Total Show Time Calculation at the bottom of your Setlist.

To add a Show Segment to the Pool:

Go to TEMPLATES > SETLIST.
Click the + icon in the Announcement / Note box.
Alternatively: In a specific Event, click the icon in the 'Setlist' box, then click the icon inside the Announcement / Note box of the 'Edit Setlist' window.

A 'Create Announcement / Note' window will appear.
Enter a Description (e.g. "Announcement", "Break").
Then enter the Duration, note text, or any relevant custom fields, and click SAVE.
The new segment will now appear in your Notes box.

Note: All changes to Songs in the Database are applied globally across all Setlists where they’re used.

Building and Customizing a Setlist

To create a Setlist for a Show:

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster under EVENTS > OVERVIEW.

Click the icon inside the Setlist box.
An 'Edit Setlist' window will appear.

You can either (1) manually add Songs and Announcements / Show Segments from the Song Pool, or
(2) click COPY FROM TEMPLATE to apply a pre-saved Setlist Template to the Event.
Changes are saved automatically.

To manually add Songs and Announcements / Show Segments from the pool:

Click the next to the desired song to add it to the Setlist box.

Formatting Templates and Printouts

In order to customize PDF printouts for different functions, you first need to create Formatting Templates.

You can customize and print tailored Setlists for different roles (e.g. lighting techs, musicians, monitor engineers, sound technicians) using Formatting Templates in the 'Edit Setlist' window. These templates let you define which fields are displayed for each function or team.

Go to TEMPLATES > SETLIST.

Click the + icon in the Formatting Templates box.

Alternatively: In a specific Event, click the icon in the 'Setlist' box, then click the icon inside the Formatting Templates box of the 'Edit Setlist' window.

A 'Create Formatting Template' window will appear.

Enter a Description, such as "Musicians" or "Lighting Techs," then click CREATE.
The 'Edit Formatting Template' window will appear.

Select which fields to include in the printout from the Add Fields list (e.g. Title, Duration, Composer, etc.).

Customize options like: display artist logo, show field names, include durations, alignment, borders, and font size.

Changes are saved automatically.

To print, click the icon next to the Formatting Template.

Note: If you wish to edit or remove a Formatting Template from the Roster, hit the next to the Formatting Template in question, edit desired information or click on DELETE.

To preview a Setlist printout using a customized Formatting Template:

Go to TEMPLATES > SETLIST > choose the relevant ‘Setlist’ in the Menu > PREVIEW A ‘Preview’ window will appear.


Navigate through the Formatting Template drop-down menu in the top right corner to see the preview.

Go to TEMPLATES > SETLIST > choose the relevant ‘Setlist’ in the Menu > PRINT


A ‘Print' window will appear.

Choose the desired Formatting Template from the list.
A PDF-file will be generated in a new window.

Formatting Templates let you control exactly which fields are shown when printing or exporting a Setlist.
For example, if you're creating a Setlist for the Artist, you can customize the template to include only the most relevant info for them.
This ensures that every PDF or CSV export contains the right details for the right person or role.

To customize a Formatting Template for PDF or CSV printout:

Go to the respective Event Overview > click on in the 'Setlist' box
An 'Edit Setlist' window will appear.

Click on next to the Formatting Template you want to customize.
An 'Edit Formatting Template' window will open.

Choose which fields and information to include under 'Add fields:'
To exclude fields, click next to the items you want to remove.

You can also adjust Alignment, Borders, Font Size, and other layout settings.

To print a Formatting Template as a PDF or CSV:

Go to the respective Event Overview > click on in the 'Setlist' box
The 'Edit Setlist' window will appear.

Click on either CSV or next to the relevant Formatting Template.
The printout will open in a separate tab.

Announcements & Upcoming Shows

Don’t let the spotlight go to waste!
With the Announcements / Upcoming Shows feature, you can remind Artists to promote future gigs in the area while they're on stage for this Event.

To add Upcoming Events to the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box:

Go to EVENTS > select the relevant Event.

Click the inside the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box.
A 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' window will appear.

Check the box 'Automatically view announced events'.

Set the timeframe and radius within which upcoming Events should be shown.

Optionally, add a custom announcement in the text box and format it as explained in the Formatting section.

Click SAVE to finish.
All Events that match the selected criteria — along with any custom announcement — will now appear in the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box for the Artist to see.

Note: Only Events that have already been announced (i.e., made public) will be displayed.

To remove an Event from the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box:

Click on the next to the Event.
It will move to the 'Hidden Events' section, accessible via the in the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box.

To Unhide it, click the next to the Hidden Event.
It will then be displayed again in the 'Announcements / Upcoming Shows' box.

Badge

To create a digital Badge for your Crew Members:

Go to SETTINGS > BADGE and check 'Use Badge' inside the 'General' box.
You can either use the default background image, or upload your own in the 'Upload New Background Image' box by selecting a file (max 5MB) and clicking UPLOAD to finish.
In the 'Layout' box, you can configure the appearance of the badge:

In the 'Own Security Seal' box, you can upload a Custom Seal in .gif format.
Click UPLOAD to finish.

Note: All changes will be automatically displayed in the preview window.

Note: Once a badge is in use, the AAA (All Areas Access) badge icon is always displayed in the App for easy access — even in offline mode.

Integrating Show Dates on Website

With just a few clicks, you can seamlessly integrate all your public Tour Dates from J.SHOW into your personal Artist and/or Agency website.
Whether you're showcasing tour dates, promoting festival slots, or listing upcoming shows, J.SHOW generates an embeddable code that keeps your site updated in real-time—no extra work needed.

Effortless. Automatic. Always up to date.

To enable the 'Dates for Website' feature in the Event Overview:

Go to SETTINGS > PLATFORM and check the use box in the 'Date Overview on Website' section.

Note: Once this is enabled, the 'Date Overview on Website' box will be available in the Event Overview for individual adjustments.

Then, choose whether you want the complete display (Country – City – Venue/Title*) or a minimal version (City / Title*).
(*Title will only appear when the "Use [title] instead of city/venue" option is activated in the Event’s Basic Information box.)

You’ll also find Instructions for Installation — a simple 3-step guide for embedding the feature on your site:

Paste the provided code where you want the tour dates to appear on your website.
Paste the second code snippet within the <head> section of your site.
(Optional) Customize the code from step 2 to match your site’s style.

Editing Website Display per Event:

Click the icon in the 'Date Overview on Website' box.
A 'Date Overview on Website' window will open, showing the date and weekday at the top.

Add up to three Ticket Links (Name + URL) and indicate if any are Sold Out.
Add up to two Support Acts.
Choose whether to Publish Now, Publish on a Future Date/Time, or mark it as Not Public.

Note: The options Publish Now, Publish on Future Date, and Not Public are directly linked to the selections made in the Basic Information box of the Event, i.e. Announced, TBA and Not Public.

Click PREVIEW (UNFORMATTED) in the bottom left to review.
Click SAVE to confirm and close the window.

Note: The 'Date Overview on Website' box will only appear for Events that are actual Shows. Other Event Types (e.g. Rehearsal, Travel Day) will not be shown on the website.

Note: If the + DAY feature was used in the 'Basic Information' window (e.g. for a Festival), the entire time period of the Festival will initially be released for the Tour Dates on your website.
However, if you’ve selected a specific Event Date in the 'Basic Information' window and later want to display only the actual performance day, you can now use the RESET PERIOD button in the 'Dates for Website' window to update it accordingly.

Sharing Events Across Plaforms

With J.SHOW, you can easily share as many (or as few) details as needed about specific Events across different Artist Platforms.
You can even generate a sharable link to give access to outside parties who aren’t part of the platform.
Whether you're coordinating across multiple Artists or giving a venue tech crew access to the latest specs, J.SHOW keeps it simple, secure, and seamless.

To share / integrate a specific Event into another J.SHOW Artist Platform (as Support Act):

Go to EVENTS > choose the relevant Event from the Event Roster > OVERVIEW > SHARE.
A 'Share' window will appear.

Click on + ADD A PLATFORM FROM A SUPPORT / FEATURE ACT.
A 'Share Event with the Platform of Support / Feature' window will appear.

Enter the J.SHOW domain of the Artist Platform you want to share the Event with.

Select the categories of information you wish to share.

Click the to finish.
You’ll be redirected back to the 'Share' window.

Click the again to finalize.
The Event will now appear in the Event Roster of the other Artist Platform, complete with all selected details.

Once Platform A has shared an Event with Platform B:

Platform B will receive a notification in the Event Roster stating: “This platform has been granted access to Events from another platform. They appear in this list and are marked with a + symbol. Click on any of these Events to add them to your own platform.”

Once Platform B clicks on one of these Events, the + symbol will disappear, and the Event Title will include ‘SUPRT’ followed by the name of Platform A.
Platform B can now independently add their own Travel Party, schedules, and notes inside the shared Event. They will only see the specific categories that Platform A has made accessible for this Event.

Both Platforms will have their own Travel Party, as well as separate input fields for scheduling and event-related information. Platform B can also control visibility settings for their own crew members regarding which shared data from Platform A is accessible.

Note: While neither Platform can see the individual crew members of the other, the Catering box will display the combined total number of meals required across both Travel Parties.

Sharing Events with a Link

To generate a shareable link with an external party outside of J.SHOW:

Go to EVENTS > choose the relevant Event from the Event Roster > OVERVIEW > SHARE.
A 'Share' window will appear.

Click on ENCRYPTED LINK TO THIS EVENT.
A 'Encrypted Link to This Event' window will appear.
You’ll find the link at the top of this window.

Select the categories of information you wish to share. The link itself stays the same, but whenever it's accessed, it will always reflect the categories currently set to visible.

Click COPY TO CLIPBOARD to forward the link to the intended recipient.

Click the to close the window.
You’ll be redirected back to the 'Share' window.

Click the again to finalize.

Linking Templates to Event Types

Easily create dedicated Templates for different Types of Events — such as Tours, Festivals, Travel Days, Set Up, and more — and link them directly to those Event Types.
Once linked, the associated Template will be automatically applied every time you create a new Event of that Type — with Schedules, Hotel Rooming, Catering, Contact Persons (CPs), and more already pre-filled. No more repetitive admin. Just pure efficiency.

To link Templates to specific Event Types:

Create a dedicated Template (if you haven’t already) under TEMPLATES. Choose the appropriate Template Category (Overview, General, Travel Party, Contract, etc.) and name it accordingly.

Go to TEMPLATES > EVENT TYPES. You’ll now see a Table of all Event Types, including any custom Event Types you’ve created, as well as all Template Categories to choose from (Overview, Travel Party, Vehicles, Contract, Finance, etc.).

Use the dropdown menu in each Category column to link every Event Type with its relevant Templates.
Your changes will be saved automatically.

Example: If you want all Tour Events to automatically use your General Overview and Vehicle Templates, select those Templates from the dropdown menus in the corresponding rows.

Note: Templates are only applied automatically when creating a new Event. Existing Events remain unchanged by default.
However, if you change or enter the Event Type later under 'Basic Information' of an existing Event, a checkbox will appear allowing you to apply templates which are linked to this event type.

Permissions

Access Rights

Access Rights are the rights or Permissions granted to a User Profile.

Important: Please note that there is a distinction between 'Functions' and Access Rights/Permissions, even though similar terminology may be used in both contexts. For example, an Artist can refer to the role or 'Function' of an individual, while the Permission Level 'Artist' is a specific set of Access Rights. Inviting an Artist to a Travel Party does not automatically grant them the 'Artist' Access Rights.

When inviting a new Person to an Artist Platform, you’ll be asked to select the appropriate Access Rights/Permission Level for that individual.

To change a Profile's Access Rights as Admin/Agency, login to an Artist Platform > go to People > select the Person whose Profile you want to edit > an Edit profile window will appear > choose the desired Access Rights from the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner

If you're logged in to the Artist Platform, your email address and Access Rights/Permission Level are displayed in the bottom left corner.

On the Artist Platform, you can preview how the Platform appears for different Access Rights by selecting a level from the list in the lower left corner.

Note: To display certain functions, you must be a member of the Travel Party itself.

Visibility of Events

The setting under Settings > Permissions > Visibility of Events allows you to restrict the Visibility of Events. When enabled, users with Tour Management, Crew+, Crew, and Guest permissions will only see Events in which they are listed as part of the Travel Party. Users with Admin, Agency, and Artist permissions are not affected.

Users with the Crew Booking Tool enabled can view the entire List of Events to mark their availability. However, when Visibility of Events is enabled, they can only open Event Details if they are included in the Travel Party.

J.SHOW PRO Basics: From Deal to Profit

Create the Contract

Go to EVENTS > select your Event > open the CONTRACT tab.
This is where you define all key financial details:

This contract forms the agreement between the Agency (or Artist) and the Local Partner. Contracts between Agency and Artist are not handled inside J.SHOW.

See section: Finance

Finalize & Generate Billing

Close the presale, finalize all expenses, and print the financial breakdown.
You can now issue invoices to:

Access to PRO Features

By default:
Only users with Admin or Agency permission rights can access PRO features.
Artists and Tour Managers do not see any PRO content, except for the Presale box in the Event Overview.

If you want to change that:
Go to SETTINGS > CONTRACT and locate the 'PRO' box.
Here you can adjust global visibility settings for different user roles.

To fully hide the Contract UI from a specific user:
Go to their User Profile and check the box ‘PRO Invisible’.

Tip: In the Event Roster view, clicking the left-side columns opens the Event Overview — while the right-side columns take you directly to the CONTRACT section.

Contract PRO

Note: If you want to apply the same contract structure across multiple Events, use the steps below to create a Contract Template under TEMPLATES > CONTRACT > + NEW TEMPLATE. This is especially helpful for pre-filling recurring sections like text fields, pricing layouts, and default responsibilities.

§1 Contract

Once you’ve created an Event and entered the venue/partner details (e.g. total capacity), go to EVENT OVERVIEW > CONTRACT.

Start by defining the Contracting Party (usually between Agency/Artist and the local Promoter).

Click in the §1 Contract box.
A ‘Contract’ window will open.

In the text field, you can enter something like: “The Agency provides the following production to the Contracting Partner under the terms outlined below.”
If a venue is already selected, its address, the Act/Artist, and other details will be auto-filled.

You can also add information like Door Time, Start Time, Intermission, End Time, Slot Length, etc.

§2 Income Calculation: Define your price categories and adjust for blocked seats or production kills.

Click the in the ’Income Calculation’ box.

A window titled "Income Calculation: Price Categories & Production Kills / Blocked Seats" will appear.
At the top, you'll see the Total Capacity according to the venue information.

Click + PRICE CATEGORY to define how many tickets can be sold at each pricing tier.

A 'Add Price Category' window will appear.
Define price groups, for example:

Click ADD to finish.
All created price categories will now appear in the table.

Add as many categories as needed.

Click + PRODUCTION KILLS / BLOCKED SEATS to reduce sellable capacity for specific areas, such as FOH (Front of House).

Enter the number of seats lost per price category (e.g. FOH loses 50 in Standard, so Final Sale Capacity = 3950).
Add categories like Guestlist — e.g. VIP Guestlist = 25, so Final Sale Capacity = 475.
The system will now calculate the projected income per price category using ticket base price and final sale capacity.
In our example:

Set Tax included in ticket price to the applicable percentage (e.g. 0%, 7%, 19%).
The Summary section will display:
Total Final Sale Capacity (e.g. 4425 tickets)
Total Net Income (e.g. $124,875)
Average Net Ticket Price (e.g. $28.22)

The ’Income Calculation’ box now shows your projected earnings for a sold-out show — offering a reliable planning foundation.

§3 Ticket Pricing: Add all relevant fees and calculate final ticket prices for both presale and box office.

Click the in the 'Ticket Pricing' box within the CONTRACT tab.

A window titled 'Ticket Pricing will appear.
This is where you define the final ticket price, including all additional fees such as:

Click + FEE to begin adding fees.

A 'Ticket Pricing: Fee' window will open.
Enter the Description, the Fee Amount, and Currency.
Check if the fee should also apply to Box Office (B.O.) tickets.
For example, you might add a $1.80 booking/service fee per ticket that also applies to the Box Office.
Add as many fees as necessary.
Once added, you will see a complete table displaying:

You can directly type in the Box Office price per category within the table (e.g. Standard B.O. = $30, VIP B.O. = $65).
In this example, the calculated Final Presale Prices are:

This step ensures a clear overview of all fees included in your public ticket pricing — both online and at the door.

Creating a Presale System: Assign quotas and customize settings for each ticket system you use.

Click + PRESALE SYSTEM within the CONTRACT tab to add a new Ticketing Platform for this Event.

A window titled 'Add Presale System' will appear.

Enter the Name of the ticket system (e.g. Ticketmaster), then click ADD to confirm.
A new window titled 'Price Table: [Presale System]' will now appear.
This table displays all Price Categories alongside their:

Note: If needed, you can manually adjust fees for each ticket type — ideal when different platforms use different fee structures.
Click to reset to the original fees from the main pricing setup.

In the Presale field, define how many tickets can be sold via this system:

Click the to save and close the window.

Your new ticketing system will now appear as a separate box in the CONTRACT section, labeled: 'TS: [Ticketmaster] (3000)'.
A summary of all presale allocations and calculated values is available in the 'Current Presales' box.
Add as many Presale Systems as necessary.

§4 Financial Details

To define the financial Deal, click in the §4 Financial Details box.

Direct Disposals Before Split

In some cases, part of the net income must be deducted before any revenue split is calculated — for example, to cover fixed production costs or other agreed-upon expenses. These deductions can be entered here.

Click in the Direct Disposals of Net Income box to open the input window.

In the pop-up window:

Each defined item will be deducted from the net income before the percentage split is applied. This adjusted amount is what will be used for the split.

Ticket Fee Distribution

To define exactly how the ticket service fees are split between the Artist and the local Partner:

Click in the Distribution of Ticket Fee Revenue box.

Service Overview / Additional Costs / Buy Outs

To define any additional costs or buy outs such as hotel, catering, GEMA, KSK, stage tech, press, etc.

Click in the Service Overview box.

Click to add a new category.

§5–§15 Text Fields

All sections from §5 (Payment Method) to §15 (Final Provisions) are customizable text fields.

Note: Only fields that have been filled out will appear in the final contract PDF, and they will be numbered dynamically as individual paragraphs (e.g. §1, §2, §3...).
Empty sections are skipped automatically and do not receive a paragraph number.

Since many contracts use the same clauses repeatedly, text field templates can be created under TEMPLATES > CONTRACT > + NEW TEMPLATE.
These templates can include pre-formatted standard language across all text field sections.

Formatting Rules:
(#) creates a new paragraph with numbering (e.g. 1)
(##) creates a sub-paragraph (e.g. 1.1)
(#) restarts main paragraph (e.g. 2), etc.

The following sections are included:

If you already know you won’t be using certain sections of the contract, you can hide them entirely to keep things tidy.

Go to SETTINGS > CONTRACT > ‘Use Text Fields’ box.
Uncheck any sections that don’t apply to your typical contracts.
Unchecked fields will no longer appear in the Contract interface or final PDF unless reactivated.

Printing

To print the final Contract PDF:

Navigate to Event Overview > CONTRACT.

Click on CONTRACT — a Contract PDF will be generated in a separate window.

To change the title in the Contract per individual Event:

Go to Event Overview > CONTRACT > SETTINGS
In the ‘Contract Title’ field, enter your custom title (e.g. “Engagement Contract”).

Click the to auto-save your changes.

Contract Settings

To define which financial tables to include in the final contract PDF.

Go to SETTINGS > CONTRACT > ‘Print Tables’ box.

Check all applicable sections you want to print (Income Calculation, Ticket Pricing, Financial Details, Service Overview).

Optional setting: Check “when fee is %, additionally print actual fee”
This will include a calculated actual dollar amount alongside percentage-based fees in the PDF.

To globally change the title or named parties in the Contract:

Go to SETTINGS > CONTRACT
In the ‘Title in Contract’ box, enter your desired Contract Title (e.g. “Show Agreement” or “Performance Contract”).

Specify the names of the Partner, Artist, and Agency — along with the name of a legal representatives.

Contract Layout

You can customize the appearance of your contracts by uploading graphics for the header and footer.

Go to SETTINGS > CONTRACT.
In the 'Upload Header' and 'Upload Footer' boxes, click Choose a file and select the desired image from your computer.

Click UPLOAD to complete the process.

Additionally, you can create a formatted text footer using the editable text field in the 'Footer' box.

You can also upload a signature graphic via the 'Upload Signature' box (follow the same steps as for header and footer).
The uploaded signature will appear automatically in the designated signature field on the contract.

Note: This is not a digital signature in the legal sense (e.g. DocuSign). We are currently working on integrating a proper e-signature interface, which will eventually replace this feature.

Contract Templates

To create a new Contract Template:

Navigate to TEMPLATES > CONTRACT > + NEW TEMPLATE
You’ll see a blank contract layout where you can pre-fill any of the above sections (clikc on either TEXT FIELDS and TABLES).
Templates are ideal for recurring contract setups, ensuring consistency and saving time.

Note: When applying a Contract Template to an Event, all pre-defined Text Fields will automatically populate the Contract.
However, any Tables (and newly created categories within them) included in the Template must be manually added inside the respective tables in the Contract after the Template has been applied. Simply click on next to each category you wish to include in the current Contract.

There are two ways to apply a Contract Template to a specific Event:

From the Template Section:

Go to TEMPLATES > CONTRACT and select your desired template.

Click APPLY TO EVENTS and choose all relevant Events from the Event Roster.

Then click APPLY TEMPLATE TO SELECTED EVENTS to finish.

From within the Event:

Go to EVENT OVERVIEW > CONTRACT > TEMPLATE
A Choose a Template window will appear.

Select your desired Contract Template from the list.
A warning will prompt you to confirm before overwriting any existing contract content.

Click YES to apply the template.

Linking Events

You can link two Events (e.g. for a double show) in order to combine their contract and billing documents.
This feature allows for streamlined handling of deals involving two shows under a shared agreement.

Go to Event Overview > CONTRACT of one of the Events you wish to link.

Click on the icon inside the §1 Contract box.
In the 'Contract' window, click + LINK WITH ANOTHER EVENT.

Select the relevant Event from the Event Roster to finish.

Once linked:

Note: Linking is currently only possible for two Events at a time.

Presales PRO

Once you've created an Event and added the venue information — including total capacity and other relevant details — you're ready to navigate to the CONTRACT tab in the Event Overview and begin setting up your Presale Systems and Income Projections.

Income Calculation: Define your price categories and adjust for blocked seats or production kills.

For a full breakdown, please visit Income Calculations in the Contract section.

Ticket Pricing: Add all relevant fees and calculate final ticket prices for both presale and box office.

For a full breakdown, please visit Ticket Pricing in the Contract section.

Creating a Presale System: Assign quotas and customize settings for each ticket system you use.

For a full breakdown, please visit Presale Systems in the Contract section.

Tracking Weekly Presales: Monitor and export weekly sales data across all active systems.

Before entering any weekly numbers, set your cutoff weekday for tracking new sales data:

Go to SETTINGS > TICKETS
In the 'Presale' box, define the field “New number of sales every” by selecting a weekday (default: Monday).

Note: Changing this setting after entering sales data may cause previously logged presale figures to be displayed incorrectly or calculated inaccurately.

Once this is set, navigate to EVENTS > PRESALES.

The Event you created above with an active Ticketing System will now appear in the Presale Roster.
This is where you can manually update weekly ticket sales per system.

For each event, you’ll see:

You can also directly adjust the quota or capacity per ticket system inside the Presale Roster.

To make sure your ticket system appears here, the Presale must be activated:

EVENT OVERVIEW > CONTRACT > Click in the 'TS: [Presale System] (Quota)' box.

Check Presale Active.
If this box is unchecked, the ticket system will not be visible in the Presale Roster.

If you're working with a new ticket system, a bordered 'PRESALE' button will appear inside the newly generated 'TS: [Ticket System]' box.

Click the 'PRESALE' button to enter past sales data.
A window titled 'Enter Presale: [Ticket System]' will appear.

Click ENTER PRESALE NUMBER FROM THE WEEK BEFORE.
You can now enter the total number of tickets sold up until the end of the previous week.

Click SAVE to confirm your entry.

From this point onward, the 'PRESALE' button will only allow entry of current sales data.

Note: A smaller number to the right of 'tickets sold' will indicate the weekly difference from the previous entry.

Sales Forecast: Estimate final ticket sales based on past trends.

Navigate to EVENTS > OVERVIEW and look for the 'Forecast' column.
Here, you'll see a prediction for how many tickets will be sold by show day — displayed either as a percentage or with a label like 'Sold Out'.

This forecast is based on your current Presale entries and uses a linear model derived from ticket sales over time.
By default, the forecast uses the last 6 weeks of data — or, if enabled, all previous weeks.

To change this setting, go to SETTINGS > TICKETS > 'Forecast' box and select your preferred calculation model.

Note: The forecast will only begin to calculate once you've entered at least 4 weeks of Presale data.

Additional Options & Export Settings

For a visual representation of overall presales progress:

Go to DASHBOARD and review the 'Sales Statistics' box.

You'll find:

To export weekly Presale Updates:

Go to EVENTS > PRESALE > EXPORT to generate PDF reports.

A window titled 'Export' will appear with the following options:

Click on PRESALE TABLE to begin.
A window titled 'Presale Table' will appear.

Click + NEW EXPORT SET to create a custom export package.

In the 'New Export Set' window, enter a description (e.g. Tour Name: Enlightenment Is Overrated) and click SAVE.

Select all relevant Events from the Event Roster and click SAVE again.
A window titled 'Export Presale' will appear with your newly created Export Set available for selection.

Click on it, then select DOWNLOAD to generate a PDF.

This PDF includes:

To customize the Layout of how Events are grouped in the PDF:

Return to EVENTS > PRESALE > EXPORT.

Click on PRESALE TABLE > next to your Export Set.

In the 'Edit Export Set' window, click + NEW to add Sections.

In the 'Section' window, enter a description, a start date, and an end date.

Click SAVE to confirm.
When you re-download the Export Set, Events will be grouped accordingly (default grouping = quarterly).

When Events are older than three weeks and still part of an Export Set, they will be grouped by month in the PDF.

To adjust this behavior, go to SETTINGS > TICKETS > 'Export Presale PDF' box
and set: “Group past events older than [x] days into months”

Color Codes in the Export PDF:
Blue = Sold Out
Green = Recently changed (e.g., updated info, quota adjusted, postponed)

To define how long a change is marked green, go to:

SETTINGS > TICKETS > 'Export Presale PDF' box
and set: “Mark postponed and new events in green up to [x] days after the postponement or creation”

If you do not want an Event to appear color-coded (e.g. blue for sold out) in the exported PDF, you can manually reset its status:

In EVENTS > PRESALES, go the relevant Ticket System.

Click the dropdown, choose any option from the list, then reselect the empty/default option at the top.
This removes the color status and resets the Event’s export appearance back to default black text.

Note: This is useful if there was an error in the Event status, e.g. sold out, but want to neutralize that label in the PDF output.

You can further customize the PDF output in the 'Export Presale PDF' box, by checking these options:

In the Presale Roster EVENTS > PRESALES

You can manually write internal comments for each Presale System that will appear in the Export PDF:

Go to EVENTS > PRESALES > click on the relevant Presale System, and enter your comment.

To manually mark a Presale System as sold out:

Click on the dropdown menu in the Presale Roster and select 'Sold Out'.

By default, cancelled Events appear crossed-out only once in the next PDF Export.

If you'd like them to be printed in every export, select: 'Cancelled (print in PDF always)'.
