The gigManager page gives you a table that displays all the Gigs that have been created and allows you to select individual Gigs to modify. Sorting options are available by clicking on the column heading. The default view is ordered by Date.

You may enter text in the "Filter" box to refine the list based on whether the text is found in the related info of any Gig. Type in any text and press Enter. You may also limit the list to a particular Venue or Band by selecting the corresponding name from the pull-down list.

Sorting Options

By default, all Gigs are listed by date in descending order, even if their date has passed or if they are not published. Clicking on the date takes you to the Edit Gig page.

Editing Multiple Gigs

Another useful feature of the gigManger is the ability to edit multiple Gigs at once using the check boxes located to the left of the gigDate. When you check a box, you denote which row will be effected by clicking the Publish, Unpublish, or Delete Toolbar Action buttons located at the top right of the page. The check box in the table's header selects or deselects all of the Gigs.
