Checklists & forms
How GigBook's checklist items are bound to real tasks, complete themselves automatically, and when to override them by hand.
Every event has a checklist the couple works through. In GigBook the checklist isn't a separate to-do list you have to keep in sync — most items are bound to the real task and complete themselves when that task is actually done.
Bound items complete automatically
Each default item carries a binding to a real fulfillment step:
| Item | Done when… |
|---|---|
| Complete booking details | the booking form is submitted |
| Sign your contract | the contract is e-signed |
| Pay deposit | a deposit payment is marked paid |
| Complete planning form | the planning form is finished |
| Pay remaining balance | the balance payment is marked paid |
When the couple signs the contract or pays a deposit, the matching checklist item turns green on its own — there's no separate box to remember to tick. Completed items show in green rather than gold.
Manual override (with a note)
Sometimes a task happens outside GigBook — a contract signed on paper, a deposit paid by cash. From the DJ view you can mark a bound item done by hand and attach a short note (e.g. "paper contract on file"). The note is visible on the item so everyone knows why it was completed manually.
Custom items
You can add your own checklist items to any event (or to your default checklist in Settings, which seeds every new event). Custom items have no binding — they're simple checkboxes that you or the couple tick off.
