# Ontime

Ontime is a browser-based application that manages rundowns, scheduling, and cueing for live productions, broadcasts, and events.

## Creating and Deploying Your Own Views

A "view" in Ontime is a custom interface or page that you can build to suit your workflow. You can leverage the app's infrastructure to deploy your own views. Here's how:

1. **Prerequisites**: You will need to know the address to the Ontime server (this could be localhost).
2. **Create Your View**:
   - Create a index.html and optional separate index.css and app.js files.
   - Modify the index.html contents to .
   - Use Ontime's APIs and UI components as needed.
3. **Deploy Your View**:
   - Use the app's deployment tools or commands (see documentation for details).
   - Test your view in a staging environment before making it live.
4. **Get Help**: For detailed, step-by-step guides and code examples, visit the documentation website below.
