Every tour has a type, a status, and any labels you want to add. You can keep the built-in ones, rename them, recolor them, hide one you never use, or add your own — so a run of headline shows looks different from a support run, and you can tag Domestic, International, or anything else you track.
That's all in Settings → Tours. A tour carries one type, one status, and as many labels as you like.
Tour types, labels, and statuses are separate from your event ones. An event label like DJ Set stays on events, and a tour label stays on tours.
Tour Types
A type is what kind of tour it is. Each tour has exactly one.
Go to Settings → Tours.
In Tour Types, choose Add tour type.
Give it a name and color.
Save.
To change one, open the … menu on that row and choose Edit type.
You start with Headline, Support, Festival, and Other.
Tour Labels
Labels are for anything else you want to track on a tour, and a tour can carry several at once.
Go to Settings → Tours.
In Tour Labels, choose Add label.
Give it a name and color.
Save.
You start with Domestic and International. Tours that already had a category keep it as the matching label.
Tour Status
A status is where a tour is in its life. Each tour has exactly one.
Go to Settings → Tours.
In Tour Status, choose Add status.
Give it a name and color.
Save.
You start with Planning, Finalized, Announced, Active, Completed, and Cancelled.
A tour status describes the tour, not the shows on it. Changing a tour to Announced does not publish anything — each event on the tour keeps its own status, which is what decides whether that show is published. For event statuses see Set up event types, statuses, and labels.
Use them on a tour
Open any tour and pick the type, labels, and status right in the dialog. Typing a name that doesn't exist yet offers to create it, so you can add a type, label, or status without leaving the tour.
On the tours list you can filter by type, labels, and status from one dropdown, and change any of them straight on the row.
Hide or remove one
Open the … menu on a row:
Edit and turn on Hide from new tours to keep it off new tours while tours that already use it stay as they are.
Delete to take it out of your lists. Tours that already used it keep it, so nothing you've planned changes.
Common questions
Will renaming a status change tours that already use it? Yes. The name and color update everywhere that status appears.
Can a tour have more than one type or status? No — one of each. Labels are the field to use when you want several.
Do I need anything extra to manage these? Tours is an add-on. You can open Settings → Tours and see your lists on any plan, but adding Tours to your Account is what lets you save changes and set them on a tour.
