1. Import & sync timetable data with your website

Most of our clients use their existing web agency to generate the assets needed to import data into our database. Creating a JSON with the specified Appmiral structure takes about 0,5 days of additional work for a developer.

Having a JSON (live feed) will synchronize all artists and stages between your website and mobile application. No double input is needed.

 

2. Importing from planning software tools

When you are using Beatswitch festival software no input is needed. Appmiral is integrated with its API and databases for seamless import and sync.

3. Manual input via the Appmiral CMS

3.1 Adding your artists

It all starts by adding your artists to the CMS. These will be the foundation on which you'll be creating the complete schedule.

Tip: make sure the artist is as centered as possible on the image for the best possible visibility on the application's different screens.


3.2 Adding your stages

You need to add the stages so you can link performances later to a stage (mandatory field). By default, the stages will get color, but you are free to change these colors whenever you like.

Enrich a stage detail page by adding an image and a short description.

Tip: make sure the colors are readable according to your application designs.

3.3 Adding performances

Adding performances can be done in 'draft mode' as long as the checkbox 'Published' is unchecked. From the moment you check this box, the performance will be visible in your application on either the schedule and line-up screen. Or both.

 

💡 Tips

  • When a performance ends after midnight, it's day +1.
    START: Aug 23, 2019, 11:00:00 PM
    END: Aug 24, 2019, 01:00:00 AM
  • Adding social links will make the artist's detail way more engaging.
  • Ideally, the resolution for the artist's images is a minimum of 1.500 px
