Reports
Use a daily production report
The Daily Production Report (DPR) records a shooting day’s captured schedule, times, scene progress, and production notes. SceneItAll’s current DPR support is limited to creating a per-day report, reading its schedule-derived sections, refreshing that captured data, and moving the report through Draft, Submitted, and Approved status.
Current limitation: Advanced DPR workflows are not supported yet. Do not rely on Finalize, Fill link, Share, or Export, even if those controls appear. Cast-entry editing, detailed equipment records, sustainability tracking, and collaborative fill links are also not ready for production use.
Before you start
- You have a project with an episode, a parsed script, and a schedule scenario with at least one dated shooting day.
- Any project member can view a DPR.
- Members can create and submit reports. Refreshing schedule data and approving a report require the Admin role.
Create a report
- Open Reports and select the Production Report card.
- Select New Report in the library toolbar, or Create Report in the empty state.
- In New Production Report, choose a dated schedule day. Each option shows its day number, date, and production unit. A day that already has a DPR is not listed.
- Select Create. The report opens in Draft status at
/reports/dpr/r/<id>.
The new DPR copies the selected shoot day’s current Crew call into its Call time. This is a captured report value: later schedule edits do not silently change it.
The library shows one card per report. Use All, By status, and By month to regroup the cards, or search by date, day, or status.
Read the report
An open DPR shows its paper preview in the centre and six section tabs in the side panel:
| Tab | Current content |
|---|---|
| Overview | Captured call and wrap times, page and setup metrics, weather, delays, and a production summary |
| Scenes | Completed, partial, added, and scheduled scene lists |
| Cast | A coming-soon placeholder |
| Notes | Existing Director, Camera, Sound, Production, and Safety notes |
| Equipment | A read-only summary of sound rolls, camera rolls, and footage already present on the report |
| Sustainability | A coming-soon placeholder |
These sections are primarily a read-only view. The current app does not provide a supported workflow for filling every DPR field from this screen.
Refresh from the schedule
A DPR is saved separately for each shoot day. It does not change automatically when the schedule changes.
While the report is not Approved, an Admin can select Refresh Data in the Sync from Schedule panel and choose:
- Preserve My Edits — pull the current scheduled scenes while retaining an existing report Call time and other report values. A legacy DPR with no Call time is backfilled from the current shoot-day Crew call.
- Replace Everything — replace schedule-derived content and reset the report Call time to the current shoot-day Crew call.
Approved reports cannot be refreshed. Refreshing updates only the selected report and does not change the schedule.
Submit and approve
- A Member can select Submit on a Draft report to move it to Submitted.
- An Admin can select Approve on a Submitted report to move it to Approved.
- An Approved report is final for the current basic workflow and cannot be refreshed.
The separate Finalize action depends on unfinished collaborative-section tracking and is not part of the supported workflow.
