Understanding Work Status Codes

Every DOOD code G-Casper Pro shows, which ones it works out for you, which ones you add, and the letters that mean something different on Exhibit G.

Worked Out From the Schedule

These four describe a run of work. G-Casper Pro assigns them from the days a person works, so you never pick one from a list on the DOOD.

CodeNameWhen it appears
SWStart WorkThe first working day
WWorkAny working day between the first and last
WFWork FinishThe last working day
SWFStart-Work-FinishThe only working day
Tip: Crew runs span prep, shoot and wrap, so a set decorator who starts on P10 reads SW on P10. Cast runs are worked out from shooting days, because that is where the scenes are.

Added by Hand

These codes come from you, through Speed Schedule on the Cast DOOD or the status on the call sheet.

Hold, Travel and Fitting Do Not Start a Run

A performer with one shooting day and one hold day reads SWF on the shooting day and H on the hold. The hold is not counted as work, so it does not take the SW. The same goes for travel, fittings and rehearsals: they sit around the run without moving its edges.

Drop and Pickup

The Cast DOOD legend also lists SWD, PW, WD, PWF and PWD. G-Casper Pro does not generate them. A gap in a performer's run stays a gap: W on Friday, off over the weekend, W on Monday.

Important: If a performer's deal uses a drop and pickup, the DOOD will not show it. Track those dates with payroll.

Changing a Cast Status on the Call Sheet

The status cell on CS Front offers SW, W, SWF, WF, H, R and blank. Picking one by hand overrides the worked-out value for that day, and a small yellow corner marks the cell. Hover it to see the automatic value it replaced.

Exhibit G Uses Its Own Letters

The SAG-AFTRA Production Time Report has its own status column, and two letters mean something else there. The Exhibit G tab fills the status from the DOOD and offers Reset to DOOD on every row.

Important: T on the DOOD is travel. T on Exhibit G is a test day. F on the DOOD is a fitting. F on Exhibit G is finish.

O/C and N/C

On call and not called are call times, typed on the call sheet back. They are not DOOD codes. Catering counts skip anyone whose call reads O/C or N/C.
