# Boards and cards

# Boards and cards

Each scene, character, location, and breakdown item has a **board**: a workspace for notes, cast assignments, contacts, links, and tasks. Boards keep production details organized and connect them to call sheets and the project budget.

## Where to find boards

You can open boards in two main ways:

1. **Breakdown tab:** Open the **Breakdown** tab and click a scene, character, location, or item (e.g. a prop or costume). The board opens for that entity. From a scene's breakdown page, use **View scene board** to open that scene's board.
2. **Elements:** Open the **Breakdown** dropdown in the nav, choose **Elements**, pick a category (Cast Members, Props, Locations, Set Dressing, etc.), then click an item to open its board.

**Scene board:** Each scene in the breakdown has its own board for images, links, todos, and references. Open it from the scene breakdown page via **View scene board**. See [Managing scene boards](/managing-scene-boards) for what to put there and how it differs from the scene breakdown page.

**Day Bible:** In the **Schedule** tab, the left sidebar lists each production day. Next to **Call** for each day, click **Day Bible** to open that day's board. The Day Bible holds call sheet, shot list, DPR, one-liner, day sides, continuity cards, and your own cards for that day. Continuity cards: **Costume Continuity** is always shown; when Day Bible enhancements are enabled and the day has makeup/hair continuity, a **Makeup/Hair (Day)** card appears; when the day has props/set-dressing continuity, a **Props Continuity (Day)** card appears. Opening a continuity card (Costume, Makeup/Hair Day, or Props Day) opens the day-specific continuity PDF in the same window.

**Day Bible view-only link:** When you send a call sheet, you can include a **view-only Day Bible link** so recipients can open that day's board in a browser without signing in. In the **Send Call Sheet** modal, check **Include view-only Day Bible link (no login required)**; the app creates the link when you send (when Day Bible enhancements are available for your plan). Recipients see the day's board in read-only form and can open the Day Packet and day-specific PDFs (sides, one-liner, continuity). They cannot edit the schedule or call sheet. If the schedule or day is changed or removed after the link was sent, the link may stop working; recipients should use the call sheet and Day Packet they already received or contact production for the latest schedule. You can revoke the view-only link so the URL stops working; to share again later, send another call sheet for that day and check the view-only link option to generate a new link. See [Call sheets](/call-sheets) for sending and link options.

Some boards (e.g. character boards) open with a starter card already added (e.g. Cast Member).

## Adding cards

1. Open a board.
2. Click the **Add Card** area (dashed border).
3. Choose a card type.
4. Fill in the title and content.
5. Click **Create Card**.

You can drag cards to reorder them on the board.

## Card types

* **Note:** Production notes, ideas, reminders.
* **Link:** Reference links (mood boards, research, vendor pages).
* **Image:** Reference images or photos.
* **Todo:** Checklists and pre-production tasks. Add multiple items, assign team members, and mark complete. Todo items can have notes and comments.
* **Cast Member:** Character boards only. Links the character to a cast member (name, email). Create or link the cast member first. Talent from character boards is pulled onto call sheets for scheduled scenes.
* **Contact:** Addresses, parking, nearest hospital, and other contact info. Used on location boards. **Parking** and **Nearest Hospital** contact cards sync to the call sheet for those locations.
* **Specifications:** Item boards (props, wardrobe, vehicles) and character boards (e.g. actor sizes for costume). Specs, measurements, cost, vendor. On item boards, a **Cost** card syncs with the project budget: edit cost on the board or in the budget and they stay in sync.
* **Extra:** Background actors with contact info. Syncs to project contacts (Extras category). See [Managing extras](/managing-extras).
* **Location Release** / **Location Candidate:** Location boards only. For scouting candidates and location release PDFs. See [Managing locations](/managing-locations).

## Comments and tagging on cards

Cards support **comments**. Open a card (click it) to open the detail slide-over. Add a comment to discuss the card with your team. Use **@name** to tag a teammate; they get notified. You can add reactions to comments and remove your own comments. Comment count appears on the card. Todo cards also support comments on individual todo items.

## How boards sync with call sheets

* **Talent:** Assign cast on character boards (Cast Member cards). When you create or resync a call sheet, talent is pulled from characters in the scheduled scenes. Cast info appears on the call sheet.
* **Locations:** Add **Contact** cards on location boards for parking and nearest hospital. For the Parking and Nearest Hospital locations, this info syncs to the call sheet.
* **Crew:** Add crew from your project contacts. They appear in the **Crew Grid** on the call sheet.

## Tips

* Character boards often start with a Cast Member card. Edit it to link the character to a cast member so they appear on call sheets.
* Location boards can include set address, parking, and hospital cards. Parking and hospital info syncs to call sheets for those locations.
* Item boards (props, wardrobe, vehicles) use **Specifications** cards for specs, cost, and vendor. Use a **Cost** card to sync with the project budget.
* Day Bible is in the **schedule sidebar** (stripboard view): same row as **Call** for each day, with a grid icon and the label "Day Bible."
