The Start Time column shows the planned clock time each row is scheduled to begin. Start times are auto-calculated from your row durations, so as the rundown is built out every row's start time falls into place automatically. You can also set an anchor to pin the timing to a hard start, or type a start time directly onto a row to override the calculated value.

Change a duration or move a row and every start time downstream (or upstream of an anchor) recalculates instantly and updates for everyone on the show in real time.

Only Admins and Show Callers can add the Start Time column, set anchors, and enter or override times. All crew members can see the column once it has been added, and can reorder or hide it from their personal view.

Note: Only one Start Time column can exist per rundown. If you don't see the option, check whether the column is hidden, or if it is archived you can restore it.

By default, start times flow from your row durations. Each row begins when the previous row ends, so the column reads straight down the rundown as a running schedule. If no anchor is set, the first row is treated as the starting point.

Because the times are derived from durations, you rarely need to type anything. Adjust a duration and the rows below shift automatically.

An anchor pins a row to a fixed point so the schedule is built around it. Rows below the anchor count forward from it and rows above it count backward toward it, all based on the durations in between.

The anchor row displays in green. Rows below count forward from it, and rows above count backward toward it.

You can set multiple anchors. When you do, each row re-times to the nearest anchor, so each anchor effectively starts its own segment of the show.

To remove an anchor, open the popover and click Clear anchor. The row goes back to auto timing calculated from durations.

Sometimes a row needs to start at a specific clock time that doesn't match the calculated value. You can type a time directly onto the cell to override it.

When your entered time differs from the calculated time, the cell turns red to flag the override, and the popover shows the difference:

Hover the cell to see this detail at a glance in a tooltip.

Each calculated cell shows a small arrow next to its value so you can see how it was derived:

Overridden rows display in red when a gap or overlap is detected to distinguish them from purely calculated rows.

Start times follow the parent Event time setting. In 24-hour mode times display as 14:30:45. In 12-hour mode they display as 2:30:45pm. To adjust this change in event settings.

You can toggle whether a row's start time is visible without losing the underlying value:

Hidden rows keep their calculated time and still count toward the timing of other rows. Toggling Show brings the value back into view.

If a row has an override (a time you typed), you can clear it and return to auto timing:

The row goes back to the value calculated from durations and the surrounding anchors, and the red override styling clears.
