I have used excel for years to keep track of everything and anything having to do with shows and exxpenses
I recently came across Airtable which is a spreadsheet that allows me to design and input all my important info concerning shows on my desktop and have it available on my ipad and on my phone when I am away at shows. When I update on one device it automatically updates on all others... Impressive & Free.. There are upgraded and paid versions also available but I don't think I would ever need more features than the free one provides
Thought I would share.

The more I get into this program the more I appeciate it.
So I went to the sight and signed up. Do you mind sharing how this is helpful besides updating automatically? I can create an excel spreadsheet so I am wondering how this is better. Possibly you can show us how you use it?
I find that this is easier to use for me. Also, I have installed it on my ipad and on my iphone and it lets me access and edit info from any of these devices. I have a listing of shows that i created in excel and was able to easily import it to airtable. I can add attachments that i can easily view in airtable , such as a map of the show layout of a show, or any attachment. It make sit easy to add notes about the show while i am at the show and even take photos at the show and easily add them to airtable.
I also imported my excel inventory database and I was able to add multiple photos of the each inventory pieces that i can enlarge and even email to someone from airtable. When i sell a piece I can make notes right on the spot about the sale and even add customer info that they give me and is becomes current on each device.
This program is really new to me but so far I really like it alot...
I find their videos and tutorials are easy to understand..especially for a computer challenged person like me. If you can work in excel this should be easy for you Cindy
