Cast & BG Manual Overrides

How delta info chips show when cast or BG have been manually added or removed from an auto-scheduled call sheet, and how to undo individual changes.

Auto-Scheduling vs Manual Adjustments

When you build a call sheet, G-Casper Pro reads the breakdown and auto-schedules the cast and BG that belong on the day. You can then make manual adjustments: add a performer who is not in the breakdown, or hide one who is. The call sheet tracks those changes and surfaces them as delta info chips so you always know where the call sheet diverges from the breakdown.

What Delta Info Chips Look Like

Delta info chips are small gray info-severity flags on the left edge of the cast and BG sections. They are editor-only and never appear on the printed or distributed call sheet. Each chip is a compact badge that lists what changed:

  • Green chip prefixed with +: a performer or role group was manually added and is not in the breakdown for today
  • Red chip prefixed with −: an auto-scheduled performer or role group was explicitly removed
  • Gray chip showing a qty mismatch: the BG role group quantity on the call sheet differs from the breakdown quantity

Cast Delta Chips

Cast chips appear next to the Cast section header. A removed cast chip shows the cast number and character name with a − prefix in red. An added cast chip shows the cast number and character name with a + prefix in green. Both styles appear in the same popover when you click the chip.

BG Delta Chips

BG chips work the same way for background role groups. A removed BG chip shows the role name in red. An added BG chip shows the role name in green. A qty mismatch chip shows the role name with both the call sheet quantity and the breakdown quantity so you can see the discrepancy at a glance.

Undoing Individual Changes

Click a delta info chip to open the popover. Each item in the list has an undo control on the right edge:

  • For a manually added performer (green chip): tap × to remove them from the call sheet
  • For a removed auto-scheduled performer (red chip): tap the restore arrow to put them back
  • Qty mismatches do not have a per-item undo. Edit the BG qty directly in the BG section or correct the breakdown
Tip: Per-item undo only affects that one entry. The rest of your manual adjustments stay in place.

Why the Chips Are Editor-Only

Delta info chips are a QC tool for the AD and 2nd AD preparing the call sheet. Crew and cast never see them. The distributed call sheet shows clean data with no overlay. If a chip is showing and the change is intentional, no action is required. The chip just confirms the call sheet differs from the breakdown.
