About
Founded in 2006, the National Theatre of Scotland has produced hundreds of shows and toured all over the world. The theatre brings performances to audiences wherever they are. Its goal is to be a “theatre without walls” that “sparks connection between people, between communities, and between Scotland and the world.”
Challenge
Managing nearly 400 freelancers each year left the National Theatre of Scotland juggling emailed Word documents, incomplete submissions, and scattered information. Staff spent valuable time chasing onboarding details and sharing resources with performers, technicians, and others working on productions in the field. It was difficult to keep everyone informed and sensitive information secure.
Solution
Using Jotform Apps, the National Theatre of Scotland created custom hubs for onboarding, individual productions, and departmental dashboards. Freelancers can find forms, schedules, maps, and key contacts in one convenient app. Staff can access submission data through departmental dashboard apps, while Jotform Enterprise permissions help keep sensitive information accessible only to authorized users.
Results
The theater now spends less time chasing information and searching emails, giving staff more time to support productions and programs. Freelancers have convenient access to essential resources on the go, and departments can view current submission data through app dashboards. As needs evolve, the team continues expanding its use of Jotform Enterprise.
Genius
We use Jotform Apps as dashboards. If we have a department with multiple forms, we build them a dashboard, and they have all their tables linked there. It just makes their life easier — and my life. The apps are genius.
