Artist Access Overview (NEW for 2024)

We have created Artist Access as a new application for Artists, and also introduced some major related changes to iCFM itself. These updates introduce new features and improvements to existing functionality to enable better management of Artist working hours and rates, resulting in more accurate forecasting of costs. The new Artist Access application enables Artists to manage their own schedules - ie completing actual hours, and adding Jobs (where unscheduled work has been completed), ensuring utilisation data is as accurate as possible. Below, you'll find descriptions and links to user guides for each of the new tools or areas of our software that have been updated.

iCFM: Artist Contracts

The biggest new addition to iCFM is Artist Contracts. Contracts provide the ability to record Artist day rates (regular, overtime & weekend) for a given date range. It is possible to add multiple Contracts, ensuring that the Artist rates (therefore costs) are as accurate as possible, for any time period.

Learn about the different types of Contracts you can create for Artists, tailored to various Job roles and conditions. This includes step-by-step instructions on adding and customising Artist Contracts.
