Schedule (stripboard)

The stripboard is the shooting schedule: days, day breaks, banners, and strips (scene/split blocks) with start/end times, prep, and shoot times. You reorder strips, assign scene characters, and split or revert splits. Schedules can be working or approved; one approved schedule per project is used when the app needs to pick “the” schedule. The schedule drives call sheets, DPR, Day Bible, and many production reports. Production dropdown → Schedule. If the project has no schedule, you may see an empty state and Create a Schedule or New Schedule. When the script is first parsed and the project has no schedules, a “Working Schedule” is often auto-created.
  1. Open ProductionSchedule. Create a schedule if none exists.
  2. Add day breaks and banners as needed. Drag strips to reorder. Set start/end/prep/shoot times.
  3. Use the three-dot menu on a strip for Insert Day Break Under/Above, Add Banner Under, Duplicate Scene, Split Scene…, Revert split, Recalculate times from here, View Breakdown.
  4. Assign scene characters to strips where needed. Use Approve when the schedule is locked for call sheets and distribution.
  5. Archived schedules appear in Boneyard; you can restore or delete them from there.
Production is a dropdown. Click Production in the nav to open it, then click Schedule. The schedule sidebar (left of the stripboard table) lists each day with Call, Day Bible, DPR (Company), and Day Sides. Use the Day Bible link per day to open that day’s board; see Boards for what the Day Bible contains.
