Cast & BG Manual Overrides

The chips that flag cast or BG added to or taken off a call sheet against the breakdown, and how to undo those changes.

Auto-Scheduling vs Manual Adjustments

The call sheet pulls the day's cast and BG from the breakdown. Add a performer who isn't in the breakdown, or take off one who is, and a chip on the sheet says so.

What Delta Info Chips Look Like

The chips are small grey flags in the left margin, level with the cast and BG headers. They show on screen only and never print. Each one is labelled for what changed:

  • Cast + or BG +: a performer or role group was added that isn't in the breakdown for today
  • Cast − or BG −: a performer or role group from the breakdown was taken off
  • BG Qty: a role group's quantity on the call sheet differs from the breakdown

Cast Delta Chips

Cast chips sit level with the cast table's header row. Click one to see the performers it covers.

BG Delta Chips

BG chips sit level with the BG header and work the same way for role groups. BG Qty lists each role with the call sheet quantity and the breakdown quantity.

Undoing Individual Changes

Click a chip to open its list:

  • Cast +: click the × on a performer to take them off the call sheet, or Remove all when there are several
  • Cast − and BG −: Restore all puts everyone in the list back. There is no per-item restore
  • BG + and BG Qty have no undo in the list. Change the quantity in the BG section or fix the breakdown
Tip: The × on a Cast + item only removes that performer. Your other changes stay.

The Chips Don't Print

The chips never appear on the printed sheet or the PDF that goes out. Anyone who opens the CS Front in the app sees them. If the change is intentional, leave the chip. It only tells you the call sheet differs from the breakdown.
