Getting started

A 3-minute tour to get you patched, labeled, and printing.

1. Install and sign in

iPhone: open the TestFlight invite email or link → install TourLabel.
Any browser: go to app.tour-label.com.
On both surfaces, tap Sign in with Apple using the same Apple ID. Everything you do syncs both ways within a few seconds.

2. Start with a sample show

Fresh account? On the Projects screen, tap Load a sample show (web) or Load Sample Project (iOS). You'll get a full Sample Tour: two DigiCo racks, Brown and Red stage boxes, FOH + MON consoles, and 18 patched channels with mics, stands, and routing. It's the fastest way to see how everything fits.

Or tap + Start from scratch and build your own.

3. Set up racks, stage boxes, and consoles

Left sidebar. Click the + next to each section.

Racks: pick a preset (DigiCo, Yamaha, DiGiGrid, …), set a rack number and stage location.
Stage Boxes: name it (e.g. "Brown"), set the socket count.
Console Positions: name it (FOH, Monitors, Broadcast, …).
Mic Inventory auto-tallies every mic used across the project — no need to enter it separately.

4. The patch grid

Import from Sheet: paste from Excel/Numbers or upload a CSV/XLSX. Headers like MIC/DI, STANDS, SD Rack, Sub Snake, and Ch auto-detect. Compound values like 1.2.3 in the Rack column split into Rack #1 · Slot B · Socket 3.
Add row: channel #, socket, and stage-box channel bump automatically. When a card fills up (usually 8 sockets), the next row rolls to the next slot; when a stage box fills, it rolls to the next box.
Columns: Ch # · Name · Mic · Stand · Stage Box # · Stage Box · Rack · Slot · Socket · Console · Notes.
Double-patch alert: any row sharing Stage Box + channel with another row lights up red so you can catch conflicts before soundcheck.
Bulk delete: tick the checkboxes on the left, then hit Delete in the red bar. Undo lasts about 8 seconds.
Multiple sheets: tabs at the top. Double-click a tab to rename.
Print / PDF: the Print / PDF button opens a print-ready view. Use your browser's Print dialog and "Save as PDF" for a paper sheet.

5. Design a label template

Templates tab (web) or Templates tab (iPhone).

Pick a tape width (6–36 mm).
Add rows — full width, centered, or two-column.
Drop fields into each row: Ch #, Name, Mic, Stage Box, Routing (long or short), whatever you need.
Templates are per-project so you can tune them to that show without touching your other sheets.

6. Print labels (iPhone only, for now)

Pair a Brother PT-P710BT over Bluetooth from the Printers tab.
Pick a template + a patch sheet → the app generates a label set.
Green dot = already printed. Orange = edited since last print. Grey = never printed.
Tap Print next to any label to send it to tape.

7. Web ↔ iOS sync

Every change pushes automatically. On iPhone, the small dot at the top-right of Projects shows sync status. On the web, edits appear within a couple of seconds. Sign out and back in doesn't lose anything — your data lives on the server tied to your Apple ID.

8. Feedback + support

Send Feedback in the Account tab pre-fills your build number and device info — mail goes to feedback@tour-label.com.
Delete Account in the Account tab removes everything permanently, no email required.
