Building your roster

Updated This content is in English — use your browser’s translate feature to read it in your language.

Your roster at /artist-roster/ is the home for the people you represent, book, or want to keep close. It is not a list of candidates you are considering — it is your working relationship list, and for most managers it is the first thing to set up.

Adding people

There are four ways in:

  • By hand — create a profile yourself for someone you already work with. This is free and the fastest way to get started.
  • From Talent Finder — save someone you discovered in a search straight to your roster.
  • From an application — move someone who applied to you onto the roster when the relationship becomes ongoing.
  • By import — bring an existing list in from a CSV file.

What you can keep on a profile

  • Notes — the context that is not in anyone's CV: how you met, what they are good for, what they cost.
  • Tags — your own labels for discipline, region, availability, or anything else you filter by.
  • Ratings — your own assessment, private to you.
  • Files — riders, portfolios, agreements, press material.
  • Pipeline stage — where the relationship currently stands.

Profiles you create belong to you

A profile you build by hand or save from a search is yours. Your notes, ratings, and files on it are private — no other manager can see them, and the person themselves does not see your internal notes.

Keeping it useful

A roster earns its keep when you can filter it fast. Tag consistently from the start, and write the note at the moment you learn something rather than later. Ask Spotty to search your roster in plain language — "who do I have in Berlin who plays drums" — rather than scrolling.

The roster is a plan-controlled feature. Check /billing/pricing/ for what your tier includes.
