Using CueKit Today

Today gives event planners and production teams a single, read-only view of what is scheduled for an event day: sessions, Room Setups, and the items that need attention. Open an event and select the Today tab, next to Overview.

Today is built entirely from information already saved in your event — the Program, Run of Show, Rooms and Room Setups, Speakers, Staff Schedule, Deadlines and Logistics. Nothing can be edited from Today; use the linked screens to make changes.

Scheduled times, not live status

Today shows what is scheduled to happen, based on the times in your Program and Room Setups. It does not know whether a session actually started, ran long, or finished early, and it is not a show-calling tool. Always confirm live status with your production team.

All times are shown in the event's timezone, not your device's timezone. The current event date and time appear at the top of the page, followed by the timezone name.

Scheduled now and Scheduled next

When the selected day is the current event day, the timeline is grouped as:

• Scheduled now — sessions and Room Setups whose scheduled time includes the current event time.
• Scheduled next — items starting in the next 90 minutes, plus the next scheduled item in each Room.
• Later today — items scheduled after that.
• Earlier today — items scheduled to have ended. This group starts collapsed.
• Time not set — items on this day without a start time.

Overnight items show (from previous day) or (ends next day) beside the time.

When you choose any other day, Today shows that day's full schedule in time order, without Now or Next groups.

Select an event day

Use the Day menu to choose a day of the event. The current event day is marked (today). Today opens on the current event day when the event is in progress; before the event starts it opens on the first day, and after the event has ended it opens on the last day.

Filter by Room

Use the All rooms menu to show only selected Rooms. Tick one or more Rooms, or choose All rooms to clear the filter. Your Room selection is remembered in this browser for this event. Items with free-text locations are listed by that text.

Needs attention only

Turn on Needs attention only to hide timeline items that have no open warnings, so you can focus on what needs follow-up.

The Needs Attention section

On desktop, Needs Attention appears in a panel on the right; on a phone it appears within the timeline. It brings together warnings that already exist elsewhere in CueKit:

• A session's Program timing changed after its Run of Show was built.
• A Run of Show needs a Slide # review after a presentation file change.
• A Room Setup is linked to a session in a different Room.
• A Staff Schedule shift's linked session changed and needs review.
• Speaker presentations not yet received for a session.
• Overdue Deadlines.
• Logistics items not yet Ready Onsite by their needed date.

Items are grouped under the selected day, then under Overdue and other days (for example, overdue Deadlines or warnings for another event day). Select an item to open the screen where it can be resolved. Each warning appears only once, even if it applies in more than one place.

Open Run of Show, Room Setups and Staff Schedule

Each session in the timeline shows small links where they apply:

• Run of Show — opens that session's Run of Show.
• Setup — opens Rooms, where the linked Room Setups are managed.
• Staff — opens the Staff Schedule, showing how many shifts are linked.

Room Setup rows include a Room setups link.

Automatic refresh

Today refreshes about every 20 seconds while the page is open and visible. It pauses while the browser tab is in the background and refreshes again when you return or your connection comes back. The header shows when the data was last updated, and you can select Refresh at any time.

Changes made elsewhere — including a change to the event's timezone — appear on the next refresh without reloading the page.

Connection warning

If Today can't refresh, a warning appears: Couldn't refresh — showing data from [time]. Checking again automatically. The information shown may be out of date until the warning clears. Today does not work offline; it only keeps showing the last information it loaded.

Completed and archived events

After an event's last day, Today opens on the final day and shows This event has ended. Archived events behave the same way, and are read-only throughout CueKit. You can still choose any event day to review its scheduled timeline.

Who can see Today

Every member of the workspace who can open the event can view Today, including Viewers. Because Today is read-only, what each person can change is still controlled on the linked screens.
