Three DOODs
Each people tab has a DOOD view beside its list.
| DOOD | Where | What decides a day |
|---|---|---|
| Crew DOOD | Crew tab | Whether the person is called that day. You schedule it |
| Cast DOOD | Cast tab | The scenes the performer is in, plus the travel, fitting, rehearsal and hold days you add |
| Background DOOD | Background tab | Which role groups work which days |
Codes Are Worked Out
You never type SW. On the Crew DOOD you say whether someone works a day, and the code follows from where that day sits in their run: SW on the first, WF on the last, W between, SWF for a single day. On the Cast DOOD the scenes decide. A performer in scenes on Days 3, 4 and 9 reads SW, W, WF. Understanding Work Status Codes lists every code.
Prep, Shoot and Wrap
The Crew and Cast DOODs draw every dated day of the show: prep weeks in front, shoot weeks, wrap weeks behind, each week band labelled for its phase. Off days are columns too, hatched. Hide Off Days in the toolbar folds them away, and a count beside the switch says how many calls sit on the days you are hiding.
- An art department that starts three weeks out is scheduled from P15
- A performer's SW, W and WF come from shooting days only. A travel day on P1 sits beside them without moving the SW
- Past weeks fold down by default. Click a week's + to open it again
Scheduling Crew
Clicking a day on the Crew DOOD does not change it. A crew day is that person's line on the call sheet back, so the click opens Edit Crew Work Days, with an Edit DOOD button. That turns on Speed Schedule. A click cycles a day through work, travel and empty. Drag across days, or Shift+Click to fill a rectangle. Crew DOOD Checkbox Scheduling walks through it.
| Crew | Week 1 Mon Apr 14 | Tue Apr 15 | Wed Apr 16 | Thu Apr 17 | Fri Apr 18 | Week 2 Mon Apr 21 | Tue Apr 22 | Wed Apr 23 | Thu Apr 24 | Fri Apr 25 | Total | |

Adding Cast Days the Scenes Cannot
Travel days, fittings, rehearsals and holds are not in the scene schedule, so you add them. Speed Schedule on the Cast DOOD opens Speed Schedule Cast, where you pick the code to paint: T (Travel), F (Fitting), R (Rehearsal) or H (Hold).
- Painting writes straight onto that day's call sheet
- A day the performer already works stays locked. Work days come from the scenes
- Un-painting a day removes the call sheet row, unless somebody typed a pickup, call time or note into it. Then only the status goes
The DOOD and the Call Sheet
Put a crew member on a day and they appear in that day's crew calls. Take them off and they go. The reverse is true as well: editing crew calls on the call sheet back updates the DOOD. Right-click any Crew DOOD cell to see who changed it and from which screen.
