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. 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, open or create a call sheet for a day from the call sheets index or the schedule sidebar. To create a call sheet from the index, use New Call Sheet and choose a production day from the list. Only days that already have a day break on the schedule and do not yet have a call sheet appear. Add day breaks on the Schedule stripboard if you need another day. On the call sheets list, Resync (when you can edit the project) rebuilds talent and set locations from the schedule for that sheet, same as on the call sheet page. After you have sent a sheet, Resend jumps to that call sheet so you can use Send Call Sheet again.

When ready, click Send Call Sheet. The button is disabled until requirements are met (shoot date, crew call time, at least one location with an address, at least one recipient with an email). In the Send modal you can optionally Include link to Day Bible for this day (in-app; recipients with accounts sign in) and Include view-only Day Bible link (no login required) so recipients without app access can open that day’s board in read-only form. If a Day Bible link no longer works (for example the schedule or day was updated after the link was sent), use the call sheet and Day Packet you received for the latest information; contact your production for the current schedule if needed. After sending, use View Emails & Confirmations to see who opened and who confirmed. 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.
