Read a cast info sheet

The Cast Info Sheet pulls together what the wardrobe, makeup, and AD departments need about each cast member: measurements, wardrobe and makeup elements, shooting days, and special requirements. It is the printed reference you would pin in the wardrobe trailer or hand to a new head of department on day one. This article covers opening a member’s sheet, reading it, and exporting.

The Cast Info Sheet always shows the latest cast and schedule information. An open sheet updates automatically when cast details, character links, shoot days, strip order, or production units change. You do not need to save or refresh it first. See Reports you save and reports that stay current.

Before you start

  • You have cast elements in the breakdown and measurements on the cast list. Without cast elements you see “No cast members found — Add cast elements to the breakdown first.”
  • Any project member can view Cast Info Sheets. Exporting a PDF requires the Admin role.

Open a cast member’s sheet

  1. Open Reports and select the Cast Info Sheet card. The cast info library opens as a card index — one card per cast member.
  2. Use the tab row to browse All cast, or grouped By shooting day, By department (wardrobe, makeup & hair), or By prep (heaviest prep first). The search box filters by name or character.
  3. Select a card to open that member’s sheet on A4 paper.

What is on the sheet

For each cast member:

Header card

  • The actor and linked Character in the canonical Actor Name · #N — CHARACTER NAME format, plus wardrobe and makeup prep-time chips. If no Character is linked, only the actor name appears.

Measurements

  • A grid of populated measurements: height, weight, chest, waist, hips, inseam, jacket, shirt, trouser, dress, shoe, hat, glove, and collar. Empty fields are hidden — the grid shows only what is filled in.

Wardrobe

  • The name and optional description of each wardrobe element associated with the cast member.

Makeup/Hair

  • The name and optional description of each makeup or hair element.

Shooting days

  • Day badges. Hover or tap a badge to see that day’s scene numbers.

Special requirements

  • A free-text block with any per-cast requirements.

Who can see sensitive details

Measurements are visible only to the project owner, admins, and heads of costume, wardrobe, hair, or makeup departments. Other members can still read the rest of the sheet. Viewers do not receive personal or agency/manager contact details. These restrictions also apply when data is loaded in the background.

Export

From an open cast member’s sheet, the side panel shows:

  • Export PDF — downloads that member’s page as a print-ready PDF.

To distribute the sheet, use Crew → Mailing List to copy addresses or open a draft in Gmail, Outlook, or your default mail app, then attach the exported PDF.

Use the By department tab to show only the wardrobe or makeup/hair cast for a fitting day. Use By prep to see who needs the most preparation time. Update measurements in the cast list, and the report follows those changes.
