This is a guide on getting started on your first project, as quickly as possible.

First you'll need to create new account here (If you've already created an account, you'll be sent to the projects page instead)

After that you'll be taken to the Projects page, where you can create your first project.

Use the "New Project" form to create a project. You'll see the Project appear in the Project List to the Left, and it will become the current working Project.

Click the Equipment option in the menu to start adding equipment to your Project. This is page allows you to quickly add equipment, and organize the equipment into manageable pieces.

1 Here you can quickly add equipment to your Project, using the Add Items text box. Type in your items, line by line, using the following format:

Feel free to take a look at the formatting help section, or the Show Formatting Help link below the Add Text box. Your items will be added to the Show Equipment List below.

Once your items are in the Show Equipment List, you can edit them directly, sort them by dragging, and finalize any other details.

Once your happy with your Equipment list, you can use the Reports option in the menu to print out your Pullsheets and Vendor Order lists.

From here you can explore the other features of the site, finding new ways to organize your Projects, and using the tools we've created to help generate your data.

Project Parts and Positions are features designed to break your Project up into more manageable pieces.
Every item you add to a Project is kept in this hierarchy: Projects contain Parts, Parts contain Positions, and Positions contain items.

Project Parts are designed to keep large chunks of your Project separate from each other. Create new Parts if you have last minute additions you'd like to track separately, or a side order from another department. You can hide Parts from the final reports and the Equipment List. Parts are created using the Project Parts dialog box

Positions are meant to separate equipment into different physical locations, like Front of House, Stage Right, or Video Truck. You can choose to not use Parts or Positions, although defaults will be created for you when you start a new Project. Positions are created by starting a blank line with a dash (-) in the Add Items text box, followed the name of the position. If you want a new position named "Upstage Right", write "-Upstage Right" into the Add Items text box.

If you'd like more granular sorting for your items than Parts or Positions provides, you can place them into Cases. Cases can store any number of items, and can be moved around to different Parts or Positions by simple dragging. Items can be placed in cases straight from the Add Items text box, or dragging the item into the case later. Creating a case is easy, simply write the word "case" followed by the name of your case in the Add Items text box. To create a case named 'FOH Coffee Gear', write 'case FOH Coffee Gear' on a blank line of the Add Items text box. All equipment lines follow the Case line will be added to your new case.
