Dashboard
Dashboard
The Dashboard is your project command center — a single screen that summarizes production progress, upcoming schedule days, team tasks, and recent activity. Open it from the first icon in the sidebar (or the Dashboard tab on mobile).
Prerequisites
- You must have a project selected. Without one, the dashboard shows “Select a project to view the dashboard.”
- KPI rings and schedule progress work best once you have uploaded a script, built a schedule in the active scenario, and marked strips complete as days wrap.
Layout Overview
The dashboard scrolls vertically and adapts to screen width:
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Stat pills | Quick counts — Episodes, Scripts, Scenes, Pages, Locations, Sets, Cast, Crew |
| KPI rings | Four progress gauges — Pages Shot, Schedule, Scenes Done, Avg Pages/Day |
| Calendar + Day detail | Month calendar (left) and the selected day’s timeline (right) on wide screens; stacked on narrow screens |
| Tasks | Shared project to-do list |
| Shortcuts | Customizable quick links to app sections and report types |
| Activity | Latest project actions (up to 8 entries) |
Pull down anywhere on the dashboard to refresh stats, the calendar, day detail, and tasks.
Stat Pills
A row of compact chips at the top summarizes inventory across the project:
- Episodes and Scripts — how much source material is in the project
- Scenes and Pages — parsed script volume
- Locations — real-world filming addresses linked from scenes
- Sets — in-story spaces tracked as production entities
- Cast and Crew — headcounts from the crew section
Each chip is clickable — it jumps straight to the matching section. For example, Cast opens Crew → Cast List, Crew opens Crew → Crew List, and Locations opens Breakdown → Locations. You can also reach any section from the sidebar.
KPI Rings
Four ring cards visualize shooting progress against the active schedule scenario:
| Ring | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pages Shot | Pages completed on marked strips vs total script pages |
| Schedule | Completed shoot days vs total scheduled shoot days |
| Scenes Done | Strips marked complete vs total scenes |
| Avg Pages/Day | Running average pages per completed shoot day (full ring ≈ 8 pp/day) |
Rings update when you mark strips complete on the strip board or adjust the schedule.
Calendar and Day Detail
Calendar
The month calendar colors each date by schedule day type from your active scenario:
- Shoot days
- Prep days
- Travel days
Dates with production events ( fittings, rehearsals, meetings, etc.) show a small pip beneath the day number. Use the arrow buttons to change months.
Click a date to load its timeline in the Day detail panel.
Day detail
Shows everything scheduled for the selected date:
- Shoot strips — scene numbers, locations, and timing from the strip board (expand a row for more detail)
- Production events — non-strip calendar entries
Click Add entry in the Day detail panel header to create a production event on that date. The dialog has a Category (event type — fittings, rehearsals, meetings, and similar), Title, Start and End times, a Location, and Notes. Click Save entry to add it. The event then appears as a pip under the date on the calendar and in this day’s timeline.
Tasks
A shared per-project task list visible to all project members:
- Type a task in the Add a task… field and click Add (or press Enter).
- Optionally, click the date button next to the input before adding to give the task a due date.
- Click the checkbox to mark a task done (strikethrough).
- Click × to delete a task.
Tasks with due dates show a pill (Today, Tomorrow, a date, or Overdue). The card header shows how many tasks are still open.
Shortcuts
Quick-jump tiles to sections you use most. Click a tile to navigate directly — for example Schedule, Reports, or a specific report tab like Call Sheet or Sides.
Customizing shortcuts
- Click the customize icon (sliders) in the top-right of the Shortcuts card header.
- Enable or disable shortcuts from the catalog (main sections and individual report types).
- You can enable up to 6 shortcuts at once.
- Your selection is saved per user, per project.
Default shortcuts cover the main app sections.
Activity
The Activity card lists the most recent changes in the project — uploads, breakdown edits, schedule moves, comments, and similar actions. Each row shows who did it, a short description, and how long ago.
Use it as a lightweight audit trail without leaving the dashboard.
Tips
- Mark strips complete on the strip board as you wrap days — that feeds the Pages Shot and Scenes Done rings.
- Pin your daily reports (Call Sheet, One-Liner) as shortcuts if you open them every morning.
- On tablet-width screens the calendar and day detail stack vertically; on desktop they sit side by side.
- If KPIs look empty, confirm you have an active scenario locked in Schedule with strips assigned to days.
