Where Settings Live
Pick Settings in the home dashboard sidebar, or Settings in the user menu. The page is titled Account Settings & Preferences and sits at /app/settings, with two tabs: Globals and Email + SMS. These are your starting values. A new production copies them into its own Globals tab when you create it, and from then on the production keeps its own copy. Change a value in a production's Globals and only that production moves.
Globals Tab

Email + SMS Tab
Three sections cover distribution:
- Email Templates: the default subject line and body for call sheet emails, with variables in curly braces that fill in from the production. Save named templates to switch between styles
- SMS Settings: the Default Send Method (Email Only, or Email + SMS, which uses SMS credits), your remaining SMS Credits, and a Custom SMS Message Template with a preview
- Mobile Call Sheet Layout: what people see when they open their call sheet link. Mobile Call Info leads with the map and call times. Mobile Email shows the email body and swipes through the PDF pages

- Report Styling
- Editable Cell Colour
- Unit Settings (resets the Call Time Wheel)
- Default Call Time Offsets
- Email Templates (resets the template text)
- SMS Settings (resets the message template)
