Reports
Fill in a daily production report
The Daily Production Report (DPR) captures what actually happened on a shooting day — call times, scenes shot, pages completed, equipment, weather, delays, and per-department notes. This article covers creating a report, moving it through its status lifecycle, sending fill links so departments contribute their own sections, and exporting.
A DPR is a per-day document. It pulls the schedule when you create it, and has a Refresh from schedule action to re-pull scheduled scenes later — preserving your entered times and notes, or replacing them. Approved reports cannot be refreshed. See Snapshot reports versus live reports.
Before you start
- You have a project with an episode, a parsed script, and a scenario.
- Members can create, edit, and view reports.
Create a report
- Open Reports and select the Production Report card.
- Select New Report in the library toolbar (or Create Report from the empty state).
- In the New Production Report dialog, pick a real schedule day from the picker — it lists every scheduled day that doesn’t already have a report, labelled with its day number, date, and unit. Days that already have a report don’t appear, so you can’t accidentally create a duplicate.
- Select Create. The report opens in Draft status at
/reports/dpr/r/<id>.
The DPR library shows a card per report, each labelled “Day N — YYYY-MM-DD”. The tab row across the top views the reports All together, grouped By status (draft, submitted, approved), or By month; the search box filters by date, day, or status. If there are no reports yet, the library shows a “No reports yet” empty state.

Read and fill a report
An open report shows the document on A4 paper in the centre, with the controls in the right side panel: the day, date, and a status badge, then a tab row stepping through the report’s six sections.
| Tab | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Overview | Call time, first shot, meal times, camera wrap, pages scheduled versus completed, setups, minutes shot, sound rolls, footage, weather, delays, and a production-pace card |
| Scenes | Completed, partial, added, and scheduled scenes |
| Cast | Per-cast appearance breakdown |
| Notes | Per-department notes (Director, Camera, Sound, Production, Safety) |
| Equipment | Sound rolls, camera rolls, footage totals |
| Sustainability | Environmental tracking |
The Cast and Sustainability tabs currently show a “Coming soon — backend endpoint pending” placeholder; the underlying data is not yet surfaced here.
Refresh from the schedule
While a report is not yet approved, the side panel shows a Sync from Schedule panel. Select Refresh Data and choose Preserve My Edits or Replace Everything to re-pull the scheduled scenes for that day from the current strips. Once a report is approved, refresh is unavailable.
Status lifecycle
The status badge shows where a report stands, and the side panel shows the action that advances it:
- Draft — editable. Select Submit to move it to submitted.
- Submitted — select Approve to move it to approved. (A draft cannot be approved directly — submit it first.)
- Approved — final. Approved reports cannot be refreshed or deleted.
Finalize (shown while the report is a draft) moves the report to submitted, but only once every fill section is marked complete; if a section is incomplete, it tells you which one.
Send a fill link
To let department leads fill in their own sections, select Fill link. In the Send Fill Link dialog, tick the sections that collaborator should fill (Overview, Scenes, Cast, Notes, Equipment, Sustainability), then select Mint Link. The link is a public, no-login URL limited to the chosen sections.
Share a read-only link
Select Share to generate a read-only public link. The Share Link Expiry dialog lets you pick an expiry date or choose No expiry. The link is copied to your clipboard. Use it to send the report to executives or producers who do not have project access.
Export
- Export — opens the Export DPR dialog with three format buttons: PDF, XLSX, and CSV. Pick one and the file downloads. Export to XLSX when production accounting needs the data, and to PDF for distribution.
To distribute the report by email, use Crew → Mailing List to copy addresses or open a draft in Gmail, Outlook, or your default mail app, then attach the exported file.
