Department Speed Schedule

Department Speed Schedule works a department at a time: tick the departments working the day, give each one a call, and submit. Then adjust the few people who need something different.

Open Speed Schedule from the floating controls on the CS Back, or from the Speed Schedule button on the Crew tab. The dialog offers three modes. Pick Department Speed Schedule.

• Each department is listed with a checkbox, its name, the number of crew in it, and a call time
• The call starts at the general crew call. Catering starts an hour earlier
• Untick departments that are not working the day. Post production, talent, casting, VFX, music and empty departments start unticked
• Set each department's call from its time list
• Choose Add Only or Overwrite All, then click Submit to CS Back

Add Only (the default) skips crew already on the day. Their calls are not changed, even if they are in a ticked department. Overwrite All clears the day and replaces it with the ticked departments: everyone gets their department's call, and anyone outside those departments comes off the day. Before that happens, a confirm step lists who is coming off and asks you to click Overwrite anyway.

Speed Schedule saves the calls as clock times. Those do not move when the general crew call changes. To set a department as an offset that follows the general call, use the department header dropdown on the CS Back. It sets everyone in the department to the same call, and shows (Mixed) when their times differ.

Checkbox Speed Schedule switches the Crew DOOD into a mode where you tick who works which days. See Crew DOOD Checkbox Scheduling. Copy Crew Calls from Day copies one day's crew calls to others. See Bulk Copy Crew Calls Across Days.
