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.
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.

Click
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.”

The system will now calculate the projected income per price category using ticket base price and final sale capacity.
In our example:

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
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.
