How much time (in minutes) is required for basic setup? Use this amount in conjunction with event and venue setup times.
Default Breakdown Time
How much time (in minutes) is required to break down a basic system? Use this amount in conjunction with event and venue breakdown times.
then separately there is a combined field:
Setup/Breakdown Time
To figure arrival time, Gigbuilder needs to know how long it takes to setup and breakdown. A more accurate estimation is to provide the average time it takes for each Package THEN for each Venue provide additional time such as time to park, elevators, stairs, etc. If your venue and package do not contain values we will use these instead
It looks like you’ve identified two different ways to manage setup and breakdown times in Gigbuilder.
Default Setup Time and Default Breakdown Time are general settings that apply to all events, allowing you to set a standard time for setup and breakdown across the board.
The Setup/Breakdown Time field, on the other hand, is more specific and allows you to customize the time based on the package and venue. This means you can account for unique factors like parking or stairs that may affect the time needed for each event.
In summary, the defaults provide a baseline, while the combined field allows for more tailored adjustments based on specific circumstances. If you have further questions or need more detailed assistance, feel free to reach out!
In Gigbuilder, the priority for default settings can depend on the specific fields you are using. For example, when it comes to assigning staff members to new events, the Primary Resource will take precedence over the Backup Resource and Admin Resource.
If you’re referring to location settings, the Default City & State will pre-fill the location for new events. If you have multiple locations set up, it may require manual adjustments for each event.
If you have a more specific scenario in mind, feel free to share, and our team can help clarify further!
Priority comes from the VENUE first, then to your defaults. I’ve generally given myself 90 minutes which covers virtually all situations, but there was this one hotel – had to use the stairs, needed two hours, so I put 1 hour 30 minutes for the default setup time, and 2 hours for that particular venue.
@admin , see the screen shot in the first post. There are 2 different defaults on the same Defaults Page for what seems to be the exact same setup/breakdown tines.
