Run a shoot day

A shoot day runs on the Today screen, from the first clock-in to the moment you submit. CrewShift times the day and works out your pay from your clock times.

Step by step

1. Open Today and tap Clock in when you start. If you're on more than one project, pick the right one at the top first. On a production, Clock in only shows on a day you're scheduled, and it opens 4 hours before your call. Clocking in more than an hour early asks for a Reason for early clock-in. While you're clocked in, If you clock out now shows what the day pays so far. See Clocking in and out.
2. Tap Add break for each break. Lunch starts as included in your hours, breakfast and wrap meal as Excluded from hours. Only an excluded break shortens your paid hours. Forget lunch on a long day and CrewShift adds one for you to confirm (see auto lunch).
3. Tap Add expense for parking, fuel, a taxi or whatever else you paid for. Every type except Mileage and Other needs a receipt, so take a photo of it on the spot. See Expenses.
4. At wrap, tap Clock out. Check the time in the sheet, or pick Use wrap time for the planned wrap. Once the unit's actual wrap is set you can pick Use actual wrap instead. Tap Clock out again to confirm. Your pay is calculated straight away.
5. The day now sits on Today as a draft card. Check the times, breaks and expenses, then tap Submit to send it into the approval chain. Earlier days you haven't sent yet collect under To submit.

On an office day Today shows Check in instead of Clock in. One tap records the day and sends it for approval, with no hours, breaks or submit step.

On a personal project there's nothing to submit either. The day shows as Logged under Ready to invoice as soon as you clock out.

After you submit

The day stays on Today with its status. Your clock times and breaks are locked from here, but you can add or change expenses until the day is on an invoice. When an approver proposes a change to your hours, Review changes appears on the card. Timesheet changes explains how to respond.

If you forgot to clock out, see Forgot to clock out. A day you never clocked in for goes through Missed days, and Bad signal on set covers taps that didn't get through.
