A tour of the company dashboard
Everything you see on Overture's home page — the top menu bar, the EVENTS quota pill, the create-event button, the events list — labeled and explained.
When you sign in to Overture you land on your company dashboard — the home page for whichever organization you're currently working in. It lists every event in that org, shows how many event credits you've used this term, and gives you one click to create a new event. This tour walks through everything you see, top to bottom, so you know what each piece does and where to go next.
The top menu bar
The top bar sits on every page inside Overture. Left to right, here is exactly what each piece does.
1. The Overture logo (far left)
Click it from anywhere in the app to come back to this company dashboard.
2. "All saved" pill
A live save-state indicator. When you're editing anything (an event name, a row, a venue note), it shows "Saving…" while the change is in flight and flips to "All saved" the moment Overture has persisted the change to the server. If you ever see it stuck on "Saving…" for more than a few seconds, see how to check Overture's live system status.
3. Organization dropdown
Shows the org you're currently working in (in the screenshot, Demo, Inc.). If your account belongs to more than one organization, click the dropdown to switch. Everything below — the welcome text, the quota pill, the events list — changes to reflect the org you select. To rename your org, change its logo, or edit company information, click the dropdown and choose Edit company info.
4. Theme switcher (sun / monitor / moon)
Three icons in a single pill — Light (sun), Grey (monitor), and Dark (moon). Click any of the three to switch themes instantly. The choice is saved per-device, so you can run Dark on the show-call laptop and Light on your office machine.
5. Help (?)
Opens this Help Center in a new browser tab. You can keep working in the original tab while you look something up.
6. Support & feedback (life-ring icon)
Opens an in-app form that emails [email protected] with your current page, org, and account attached automatically. This is the fastest way to report a bug or ask a question — we don't need you to copy-paste anything. See how to report a bug to support for details on what to include.
7. My follow-ups (flag icon)
Jumps to your personal follow-ups page — every follow-up assigned to you across every event and every organization you're a member of. Useful when you're a stage leader or producer working multiple shows and want a single inbox view.
8. Updates / what's new (bell icon)
Shows recent product updates and release notes. A small dot on the bell means there are unread updates since you last opened it.
9. Sign out
Ends your session immediately on this device. If you sign in again, you land right back on this dashboard.
Owner-only icons
If you're the org Owner, you'll see an additional Settings gear to the right of the bell — that's the entry point to billing, platform users, and org settings. Non-owner roles don't see the gear.
The page body
Org context line
Just under the menu bar, a small grey eyebrow reads GENERAL SESSION SCRIPTS · <your org name>. This is the permanent label for the company dashboard so it's clear which organization you're signed into.
Run of Show Manager heading and welcome text
A short intro to remind you what Overture does — once you have events created, they show up in the list below. The "support team is standing by" line links to the in-app support form.
The EVENTS quota pill
The forest-green pill shows your event allowance for the current term — for example EVENTS · 4 / 5 used · 1 remaining. The format is used / total used · remaining remaining. The pill turns amber when you're at zero remaining. Hover the pill for a tooltip explaining your plan's behavior. For the full rules — including why deleted events still count toward your plan — see how event quotas work on each plan.
Resume Draft banner (only when you have an unsaved event)
If you started creating an event with the wizard and didn't finish, a red banner appears here saying "You have an unsaved event" with a Resume button to pick up where you left off and a × to discard. Drafts auto-save every few seconds so a closed tab or accidental refresh doesn't lose your work. The banner shows the draft's age (e.g. "Auto-saved 12 min ago") and notes if it was started on a different device.
Create new event card
The primary call-to-action. Clicking it opens the three-step event wizard: event details → brand logo → session lineup. The card is hidden for roles that can't create events (Viewers, for example). If you've used all of your event credits the wizard will refuse to create and prompt you to upgrade.
Your events list
Every event in this org, with the most recently active at the top by default. Each row shows:
- Event logo — the event-specific brand logo, falling back to the org logo, falling back to a generic calendar icon.
- Event name — click to open the event's run-of-show.
- Client name — who the event is for, with a small person icon.
- Year — the event year.
- Session count — how many sessions are inside.
- Open follow-up count (amber flag) — only shown when at least one follow-up is outstanding.
On the right side of each row you'll see two icon buttons (visible based on your role):
- Duplicate (copy icon) — clones the event including all sessions and rows. Dates are reset blank so you can reschedule. This does consume an event credit.
- Delete (trash icon) — removes the event. Deleted events still count toward your plan's event quota.
Empty state
If you have no events yet you'll see a dashed-border box with one of two messages:
- If you can create events: "No events yet. Create your first event to get started."
- If you can only view (Viewer role): "No events have been shared with you yet. Contact your event owner to be invited."
The footer
At the bottom of every page is a slim footer showing:
- Org-specific copyright — e.g. "Overture Run of Show Manager · Produced for Demo, Inc. · © 2026". The org name comes from your active org.
- Version stamp on the far right — a monospaced version tag like v260611.01.233. Format is vYYMMDD.NN.ZZZZ. Mention this version when reporting a bug.
Common questions
Where do I change my own profile or password?
Today there's no in-app profile editor for non-owner users. To reset your password, sign out and click Forgot password on the sign-in page — see how to recover a lost password. For other account changes (name, email), email [email protected].
Why don't I see the Create new event card?
Either your role doesn't allow creating events (Viewers and certain Crew configurations cannot), or your active org is out of event credits and on a plan that's at its cap. In the first case, ask your org Owner to grant you a higher role. In the second, see how event quotas work on each plan.
