Glossary — SHOWUPAT

SHOWUPAT is a coordination platform for real-world presence. This glossary defines the core concepts — Activities, Attendance, Ready, Passport, Check-in, Circles, Opportunities, World, and more — with the exact wording to use in product copy, documentation, and AI answers.

Activity

An Activity is a scheduled moment where people can commit to be present.

Audience

Audience defines who can see and join an Activity — Public or Circle.

AT

AT is the destination of presence — a court, café, office, Zoom room, or Discord server.

Registration

Registration is the join state: confirmed, waitlisted, invited, pending approval, or left.

Attendance

Attendance is the factual record of whether someone showed up.

Passport

A Passport is the factual history of participation across Activities.

Ready

Ready is your availability signal on the calendar layer — when you are open to meet, travel, or vacation.

Circle

A Circle is a private group; Activities can start Circle-first before going Public.

Opportunity

An Opportunity is a factual suggestion to create an Activity when availabilities converge.

Facet

A Facet is a flexible key/value tag describing compatibility (level:advanced, sport:padel).

Presence

Presence is being at the right place at the right time — the outcome SHOWUPAT records.

Showed Up

Showed Up (Attendance.SHOWED_UP) is the verified fact that a participant was present.

Waitlist

Waitlist holds participants when an Activity is full until a slot opens.

No-show

No-show records that someone confirmed but did not attend.

World

World is the live map and discovery surface for open Activities across places and times.

Check-in

Check-in is the action that writes Attendance — manual roster, camera QR, or venue self check-in.
