Templates

Templates are ready-made rundowns for common event types. Each template is a JSON file with timers and cue messages that you import into a room, so you do not have to build everything from scratch.

What's included in a template

Each template contains 5 to 8 countdown timers with durations, wrap-up and danger thresholds, label colors and notes, plus 2 to 4 ready-made cue messages such as "Please take your seats". The first timer starts manually and every following timer is set to After previous ends, so the rundown runs through once you press play. Templates contain no At clock time triggers and no audience questions.

How to use a template

Plans: Importing a template requires the Pro or Enterprise plan or a Single Event pass. On the Free plan you can recreate the rundown by hand — up to 6 timers per room, so the Conference, Award Ceremony and Church Service templates do not fit completely.
  1. Download the JSON file of the template (links above). If your browser opens the file instead of saving it, right-click the link and choose Save link as….
  2. On the dashboard, create a new, empty room with New Room and open it in the Controller.
  3. Open the room menu (your avatar) in the top-right corner, choose Import and select the downloaded file.
  4. StageTick shows what it found in the file, for example "8 timers" and "4 messages". Click Import.
  5. Adjust titles, speakers, durations and messages for your event.
Warning: Importing replaces all timers and cue messages in the room. If the room already has timers or messages, StageTick first downloads a backup of them and then offers Undo for 30 seconds. Import templates into a new, empty room.

Customizing templates

Templates are a starting point, not a rigid structure. After importing a template, you can freely edit any timer's title, duration, speaker name, trigger, display mode or cue messages. You can also add new timers, reorder them, or delete any you do not need.
