Room status indicators
Reading the live / paused / idle pills at a glance.
Room status indicators
On the Rooms tab of a location, each room row shows two small status pills — one for the event, one for the show currently running inside it. They let you see at a glance what's happening across all rooms without opening any of them.
Event pill
The event pill reflects the state of the active event in that room.
- Live — an event is active and running
- Paused — the director has paused the event (a short hold, a technical stop, a break)
- Idle — no event is currently active in this room
Show pill
The show pill reflects whether a show is actively running within the current event.
- Live — a show is in progress (the director is actively advancing cues)
- Idle — there is an active event, but no show is currently running
Reading them together
The two pills work in combination. A room with a Live event pill and an Idle show pill means the event is open but between shows — the director may be transitioning, holding, or preparing the next block. A room with both pills showing Live is mid-show.
A room with both pills showing Idle (or no indicator at all) is between events — not currently running anything.
Location card indicator
On the main dashboard, each location card also shows a live indicator badge. This rolls up across all rooms: if any room in a location has an active show, the location card reflects that.
