NOTE - The Select all function on the Action Bar will not work when assigning an Availability Status, as we can't guarantee that you have picked the same Venue Plan across all performances.

Click Apply to Selected Performances and Submit

Click Add

NOTE - If, after assigning to Performances, you edit an Availability Status via the Venue Plan Availability list, then you will need to re-assign to Performances.
