Before creating any riser stacks (diagrams of the placement of your performing members on stage), ensure that the Riser Stack module is enabled.  To do so, simply visit the Riser Stacks page.  If you see a message telling you that the module is not enabled, then do the following...


  1. Ensure you're logged in with "Webmaster" access
  2. Click the little "cog" icon in the top-right corner
  3. Click the cog icon next to HarmonySite
  4. Click the Configuration tab
  5. At the top of the tab, there's a set of tickboxes that determine what modules are enabled.  Tick the box next to Riser Stacks
  6. Click Save at the bottom


Now riser stacks can be created, as follows...


  1. Click the Admin link in the top-right corner to display the Administration Dashboard

  2. Scroll down to the Riser Stacks line, and click on the Riser Stacks link in the Public/Member Pages column

  3. Click the Add new riser stack button in the top-right corner
  4. Enter the required details (usually just the name), and click Save
  5. You are now taken to the page where you can arrange the members on the risers.  At the outset, all members are grouped in their sections off the risers.  Simply drag members from the lower part of the screen onto each member's correct spot on the risers.
  6. Click the Save button.



Note: inactive members aren't removed from riser stacks


When you make a member "inactive", the system won't remove them from the riser stack pages you already have. This is intended so that old riser stacks can be kept as a historical record.


To stop inactive members from showing up, you'll need to create a new riser stack – these members will be ignored when you make a fresh riser stack.
