Several organisers on one event

On Scale an event can have as many organisers as it needs: the cultural secretary, the house captains, the alumni committee. Each sees and runs the event as their own, and each is told about its sales and stalls.

The problem it solves

  • A fest is run by a committee, but the system lets only one person look after it.
  • Everyone is made an event manager just to see one event, and then sees every event of the school.
  • Stall applications and sold-out news reach one person, who forwards them by WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. An event manager opens the event and adds people under Organisers. Whoever creates an event is its first organiser.
  2. Each organiser sees the event in Events > Events (filter I Organise), with its orders, tickets, check-ins, refunds, stalls, sponsors and reports.
  3. Each can change the event, its sessions, ticket types, gates and staff, give complimentary tickets and change the date of a session.
  4. Each is told when a session sells out or sells slowly, and when a stall application arrives.

Everything it does

What an organiser can do

  • See only the events they are named on, in the back office, the reports and the app
  • Edit the event, its sessions, ticket types, gates, gate staff and counter sellers
  • Close sales and mark the event Done
  • Give complimentary tickets, change a session's date, read refunds and transfers
  • Decide stall applications at the first level of the chain
  • Check tickets in and sell at the counter for their events

What stays with event managers

  • Create, publish, reopen, copy and cancel events; cancel a session
  • Refund, pay back by hand and confirm a seller's closing
  • Venues and seat maps, and the Configuration menu
  • Event managers see every event of the Entity whether named or not

By plan

  • Starter and Growth: one organiser per event; adding a second is refused with a message
  • Scale: any number of organisers per event

Questions

Do organisers see each other's events?

No. An organiser sees only the events they are named on. Event managers see every event of the Entity.

Can an organiser publish the event?

No. Publishing, copying and cancelling an event stay with event managers. An organiser prepares it, closes its sales and marks it done.

What happens on Growth if I add a second organiser?

The event is not saved, and a message says that several organisers come with Scale. Event managers still see and run every event.

Does each organiser count as a user?

Yes. Organisers sign in to the back office, so each one counts in the plan's back-office users.
