Welcome to CrewShift

CrewShift runs the business side of a shoot: the schedule, the deals, the hours and the invoices. Producers and crew look at the same records, so a change on one side shows up on the other.

What you can do here

Producers plan projects and hire crew. They approve hours and invoices, and after paying an invoice they mark it as paid. Producers pay per crew-day from their crew-day credits balance. Crew never pay.

Crew accept offers and sign their deal memo. On a shoot day they clock in and out, and on an office day they check in. Each day goes for approval, and the approved hours end up on their invoice.

A producer can also give crew members approval rights, for example a head of department who signs off their team's hours. Approvers start at If you're an approver.

Freelancers can keep their own jobs in personal projects, for work where the producer isn't on CrewShift.

Finding your way around

The bar along the bottom of the screen has three tabs.

• Today (crew) or Dashboard (producers) is your home screen. What the producer dashboard shows is in Project finances.
• Projects lists your productions. With one active project, the tab opens that project straight away. Inside a project you get the tabs Planning, Crew, Negotiations (producers only) and Hours & pay. A personal project has only Overview and Hours & pay.
• Inbox holds everything that needs an answer, such as offers, deal memos, timesheets, hours corrections, schedule changes and invoices. It has three tabs: On me, Waiting and Closed. The number on the Inbox tab counts On me only. See Your inbox.

To use CrewShift like an app from your home screen, follow Install CrewShift on your phone.

Getting help

On the main screens (Today or Dashboard, Projects, Inbox) the top bar has three icons on the right:

• Send feedback: tell us about a bug or an idea, with a screenshot if you want. Your current screen, app version, device and language go along with it.
• ? opens these guides.
• The person icon opens your profile.

Some fields and headings have a small ? next to them. It opens the matching section of a guide in a panel, without leaving the screen. Tap Read the full guide for the whole article.

From your profile, go to Help & feedback → Help centre. The help home opens on the guides for your role. Tap All to see every guide and search them all.

If you're not signed in, the Help link on the sign-in screen opens the same guides. For anything they don't answer, email info@crewshift.app.

Short answers are in the FAQ. The glossary explains terms such as deal memo, per diem and KOR.
