# How Daysync Works
> A four-minute speed run of the Daysync platform: days, schedule, stays, venues, guest lists, bulletins and tour chat.
Daysync is built around one idea: **every day of the tour is its own page**. Pick a day, and everything that happens on it lives in one place: where you're going, where you're sleeping, who's on the door and what the crew needs to know.
New here? Watch the video above first. It's under four minutes, and the rest of this page is the cheat sheet.
## Days are the backbone
The left-hand sidebar lists every date on the tour. Click a date to jump to it.
Each day has a **type** (show day, travel day, day off, etc.), a **name** and a **location**. Hit the pencil icon on any day to change them. You'll set these up when you [create a tour](/guides/create-a-tour), but you can change them any time.
Inside each day you'll find five tabs, plus tour chat, which sits on its own.
Every event and every leg of travel
Hotels, check-ins and room lists
Venue details, riders and tech packs
Requests, pass types and approvals
The day's notice board
Channels, groups and DMs
***
## Schedule
The schedule holds everything happening on the day, from load-in and soundcheck to the drive to the next city, in a single timeline.
Click any item to open it in the sidebar. From there you can set **visibility**, add **tags** and **reminders**, assign **people** and **colour-code** it so it stands out.
### Creating items
Click **New item**, or press N. Then use ⌘ + ← / → to cycle through item types:
| Type | What it's for |
| - | - |
| **Schedule item** | A regular slot in the day: doors, set times, interviews |
| **Drive** | Road travel, with route calculation and vehicle profiles (e.g. avoid tolls) |
| **Flight** | Air travel |
| **Rail** | Trains |
| **Boat** | Ferries and the like |
| **Walk** | Short hops on foot |
All travel types calculate the route for you, so times and distances are based on the real trip.
### Three ways to view it
A dense list, useful for building and editing a day quickly.
Exactly what your crew sees on their phones. Check this before you publish changes.
A time-blocked view for spotting gaps and clashes.
***
## Stays
All your accommodation for the day, including who's checking in and who's checking out.
* See every stay on a **map**
* Add **room lists**, **notes**, **attachments** and **visibility** rules
* Get a **drive to venue** route straight from the hotel
* Add **key contacts**. They appear on each crew member's Contacts page on mobile.
* Switch to the **rooming list** view for bigger touring parties
***
## Venue
Search for any venue and Daysync pulls the details from Google. For example, type *The Night Cat, Melbourne* and add it to the day in two clicks.
A day can hold more than one venue, alongside its stays. Each venue can also carry:
* **Attachments** such as riders and tech packs
* **Key contacts** for the venue
* Extra details your crew needs on the day
When something changes, you can **notify** the people affected straight from the venue panel.
***
## Guest list
* Create **custom pass types** (AA, guest, photo, etc.)
* Crew submit requests from **their phones**, and they land here
* **Approve** or **deny** each request, then **export** the list or **send it to the venue**
Guest list requests work on mobile too, so nobody needs to text the TM a list of names at 4pm.
***
## Bulletin
Each day has its own notice board. Bulletins support rich text (bullets, bold, the works) and attachments, and they can be:
* **Posted** straight away
* **Scheduled** for later
* **Sent with a push notification**
Pre-fill a bulletin from the venue pack and schedule it to land at load-in. It reaches people's phones at the moment they need it, so they actually read it.
***
## Tour chat
Tour chat sits outside the day tabs because it covers the whole tour. The tour manager can set up:
* **Public channels** for the whole party
* **Private channels** for specific people
* **Group chats** and **1:1 DMs**
