Quick Start

This quick start guide walks you through the essential first steps to get your agency up and running in NowRep.

Step 1: Add Your First Talent

1. Navigate to Talents in the sidebar
2. Click the + New Talent button
3. Enter the talent's basic information:
   • First and last name
   • Email address
   • Talent type (Model, Actor, etc.)
4. Click Save

Your talent profile is now created. You can add more details such as additional contacts, address, measurements, other attributes, and photos later.

Tip: New talents start as drafts until you save them for the first time. This prevents incomplete profiles from cluttering your roster.

Step 2: Add Media For Your Talent

1. Open the Talent's protected Default Portfolio, or select Add Media from the Media Library
2. Choose To Existing Portfolio for the Default, or To New Portfolio to create another Talent Portfolio
3. Choose Upload Media or Embed Video
4. Review the Portfolio and Media details
5. Submit the complete operation

The new Portfolio and Media are committed together. Cancelling or a failed save does not leave an accidental empty Portfolio or orphan Media item.

Tip: Board, Package, and Site assignment flows let you use the protected Default Portfolio or choose another eligible Portfolio. A Portfolio must contain eligible Media before it can be published.

Step 3: Create Your First Event

1. Navigate to Bookings in the sidebar
2. Click on a date in the calendar or use + New Event
3. Fill in the event details:
   • Event name
   • Date and time
   • Client and Contact (optional)
4. Click Save

Step 4: Book Talent to the Event

1. Open the event you just created
2. Go to the Booking Board tab
3. Find talents in the sidebar and drag them to a status column
4. Talent moves through statuses: Pending → Option → Hold → Confirmed → etc.
