Set pieces

Set pieces help you organise the scenery and constructed pieces used in a production.

You can record where each piece is kept, how it is used on stage, and which parts belong together.

Each set piece has its own card, while the All set pieces page helps you find pieces across productions.

Topics:

  1. Create a set piece
  2. Use the set piece card
  3. Find set pieces from all productions

Create a set piece

  1. Open the production that the set piece belongs to.
  2. Click Add new set piece.

  1. Fill in the required fields:
    • Name: A clear name for the piece.
    • Drawing number: The drawing reference for the piece.
  2. Add any other information you have:
    • Amount: Number of parts
    • Location: Select an existing location (physical location, or item such as case)
    • Side, Act, and Scene: Where and when the piece is used on stage
    • Fixing: How the piece is installed, such as hanging from the ceiling or standing on the floor.

  1. Click Create.
  2. Trail opens the new set piece’s card. You can add information later, so start with the required fields if you do not yet have every detail.

Use the set piece card

The card shows the information recorded for that set piece. It also gives you actions for managing it:

  • Edit set piece to update its details.
  • Add set piece part to create a part linked to this piece.
  • Add attachments to keep images or PDFs with the piece.
  • Print label to print its barcode or QR code, if a printer has been installed for Trail.
  • Delete set piece when the record is no longer needed.

The card also shows related set pieces on the right. You can open or edit them from that list.

Find set pieces from all productions

Open Productions → All set pieces to see set pieces across productions.

Search the list to find a particular piece. You can also select several pieces to use the available bulk actions, such as printing labels or editing their main information.
