Patch List Creator

My motivation

As a live sound technician, I found that it was time consuming and difficult to create patch lists for clients without technical rider. This system allows me to send an artist a link, which they can use to add the equipment they are bringing or need, and the connections they need. Using this system, I can download the patch list as a PDF, which I can then print and give to the technician. It also serves as a way of keeping track of certain events.

The system

List of all events

When clicking on the list of all events, you will be taken to a page that shows all events. You can click on an event to view it.

Example of an event in the admin view

When viewing an event, you can see all the equipment that is needed and the connections that are needed. This is information added by the artist. You can also download the patch list as a PDF.
