Features · Productions

One record, and the five documents that read from it.

A production is the record the gear list, the call sheet, the quote, the invoice and the releases all read from. Set the dates once and every document uses them. The board opens with the jobs that are blocked, then the rest in the order they come up.

The All Projects board — what requires attention across the top, upcoming deadlines and booked days, then job cards in date buckets, each with a completion bar, crew, gear, quote and agreement tiles, the next action and a chip for every document
Attention first, then everything else in the order it comes up.
01 · ATTENTION — what is blocked, first

Blockers first, then the schedule.

The panel across the top pools every blocker on every job into one line each — 2 invoices overdue, 1 quote declined, 3 call sheets not sent, 4 jobs with gear still to pack — with the total and how many jobs it spans.

Each row is a filterClick 2 invoices overdue and the board narrows to those two jobs. Click again, or Clear filter, to go back.
Ordered by how much it should worry youOverdue invoices and declined quotes first; credential warnings and undated jobs last.
Always presentWith nothing blocked the panel reads Nothing is blocked — every job is on track and keeps its place, so the board’s layout does not move.
Deadlines and workloadUnder it: real dated commitments in order, and booked days as a bar per week for the next eight — so a quiet month or a collision is visible before you have read a single card.
02 · READ — one card, five tracks

The state of every job, on one card.

Jobs sit in date buckets rather than one long list — shooting today, tomorrow, next 7 days, next 30, later, no date yet, wrapping up, completed, archived. Empty buckets are not drawn.

Four tiles for the stageBefore the shoot: crew confirmed, gear packed, the quote, and agreements signed. After it: the invoice, gear back, expenses and crew pay. Each tile opens its document.
Next action, done from the cardThe single most useful next move, with a Do it → button that performs it without opening the job.
Document chipsEvery document with its state written on the chip, struck through when not required. On a wrapped job, the Invoice tile raises the invoice from the quote.
The numbersQuote total, item count, crew count, agreements signed — on the card, before you open anything.
Dates the way you read themEvery job follows the workspace’s date order or chooses its own on its Settings tab, and every document it issues prints that way.

One job, with every document it has raised.
03 · CARRY — entered once

Entered once, used everywhere.

The dates you set on the job are the dates the call sheet prints, the days the gear is booked out for, and the days the quote prices. Change them in one place.

The quote knows the gearItems come off the gear list at your own day rates, and the invoice is raised from the quote rather than retyped.
The call sheet knows the crewEveryone on the quote crosses to the call sheet in one click, with role, phone and email already on the row.
The releases know the talentThe talent block on the call sheet is what feeds the agreement, so nobody is entered twice.
One item, one job at a timeEquipment booked on one job reads as out on every other. Before a booking saves, its gear, kits and crew are checked against every other job on those dates, and you are asked before it books anyway.
QUESTIONS — the ones people ask first

Before you try it.

Where does a job start?

Anywhere: a quote, a calendar event, a studio booking, another production’s call sheet, or an invoice you raised somewhere else. Create Production can build the job from any of them rather than making you start with an empty form.

Do I have to use all five documents?

No. Mark one not required and its chip is struck through — the completion bar stops counting it.

What happens to a job when it is finished?

It moves to wrapping up while anything is outstanding, then completed. Archive it from its Settings tab when you are done; archived jobs stay searchable and keep their documents.

Can I work under more than one company?

Yes, up to two, on Studio and above; Solo has one. The company switcher is a filter that applies to the board, the calendar, documents and most reports, and each company carries its own branding, numbering and billing currency.
