Call Sheets

Call sheets are the daily production document: crew call, talent, locations, schedule summary, weather, and notes. Spell Slate generates them from the schedule and lets you edit, export PDF, and send them by email with open/confirm tracking. Production → Call Sheets. If the project has no schedule, you see an empty state and a link to create a schedule. Once a schedule exists, the Call Sheets link usually takes you to the call sheets index for that schedule.
  1. Open Production → Call Sheets. Create a schedule if prompted.
  2. From the schedule’s call sheets index or the schedule sidebar, open or create a call sheet for a day.
  3. Edit locations (set location, parking, hospital), talent (cast, call times, status), crew assignments, department notes, executive team, weather, and universal call time as needed.
  4. When ready, click Send Call Sheet. The button is disabled until requirements are met; hover over it to see what is missing (shoot date, crew call time, at least one location with an address, at least one recipient with an email). Fill those, then send.
  5. After sending, use View Emails & Confirmations (or the equivalent) to see who opened and confirmed. Recipients use the link in the email to view or confirm; opens and confirmations are tracked.
Production office and basecamp addresses can be set in Project Settings → Production Addresses so new call sheets pre-fill. Day Sides and Character Sides are available from the call sheet or the schedule sidebar per day. Crew can clock in and out from the call sheet view link on mobile (Indie/Company); that feeds the DPR.
