Two Views of the Same People
The Crew tab has a list and a Crew DOOD. The list holds who someone is and how to reach them. The DOOD holds which days they work. Both read from the same rows, so a phone number fixed in the list is fixed everywhere, the call sheet back included.
Adding People
Add opens a small menu with two entries: Add Crew Member and Add Department. Add Crew Member puts a blank row on the list. Type the title first. A row with no department yet is filed under the department that title belongs to, or under Production when the show has no match.
- Add > Add Crew Member for one person at a time
- File > Import from File for a crew list you already have. CSV, Excel and PDF are accepted
- Drag a row onto another department's header to refile it. The header reads "Drop here" while you hover
When a Title Belongs Somewhere Else
Type a title on a row that already sits in a department and G-Casper Pro checks it against the standard title list. When it is a known title that belongs to a different department on this show, it asks before it touches anything. Type Boom Operator on a row under Camera and you get "Boom Operator is usually in Sound", with two buttons:
- Move to Sound refiles the row. Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac) puts it back
- Keep in Camera leaves it where you put it. The question does not come back for Boom Operator in Camera on this production
The List Columns
Every column can be resized, and hovering a header explains it.
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Title | The job as it prints: Gaffer, Key Grip, 2nd AC |
| Name | The person. The small profile icon beside it opens their profile card |
| Phone / Email | Where the call sheet goes. A phone number is what SMS distribution needs |
| Walkie / Vehicle | Whether they carry a radio and bring a car. Feeds the radio order and parking |
| On CS | Whether they are called on the day you have selected. Read-only here |
| Sent | Whether the current call sheet has gone out to them. Updates itself when you send |
| Food Restrictions | Printed where catering will read it |
| Housing | Company plan only. Their stay for the day, from the Lodging tab |
Why On CS Will Not Tick
On CS reports whether someone is on the selected day's call sheet. Clicking it opens a short explanation with two ways to change it: Go to CS Back, or Speed Schedule in the Crew DOOD.
One Person, Two Jobs
Someone who holds two jobs, say Associate Producer and Director's Assistant, gets a row for each, because each job prints under its own department. Right-click a row and pick "Add another job for this crew member", or type the same name into a second row and answer the "Same person?" question. Head counts then count them once. The details are in Crew DOOD Tools.
Departments
Hover a department header on the list to rename or delete it. Double-clicking the name renames it too. Drag the header by its handle to change the order. The call sheet back follows every one of these changes on every day, including days already built, so rename with care once sheets have gone out.
