Getting Around
Twelve tabs, from CS Front to Burn Rate, open a short Quickstart when you arrive: a few steps on where the controls are. Where a tab has producer-only columns, Producer-level members get a second page on them and AD-level members get one line saying what is there. Tick Don't show this again and that tab's walkthrough stays closed on this browser. Leave it unticked and it comes back after three days. To see one again, click the ? in the floating help button and choose Quickstart for (the tab) at the top of the panel.
The G-Casper Heritage
The original G-Casper Excel template has been used by over 10,000 filmmakers in 127 countries. G-Casper Pro keeps its layout and adds what a spreadsheet cannot do: schedule import, drafted call times, several people on one show at once, and sending.
