WORKED EXAMPLE / FICTIONAL PRODUCTION
A five-day cast schedule
A fictional shoot from 16–20 November 2026. Clara works four days with an explicit hold on day three. Peter’s gap stays off. Ellie works only one day.
See the example and why it is arranged this way
Peter’s SW on day one and WF on day four do not turn days two and three into holds. Ellie’s single work day becomes SWF. Only a day you select as Hold gets an H.

What is a day out of days report?
A DOOD is a performer-by-date overview of work and hold days across a shoot. It helps production review cast availability and bookings. It does not give individual call times; put those on the daily call sheet.
What do SW, W, WF, SWF and H mean?
SW marks the first work day, W an intermediate work day, WF the final work day and SWF a single work day. H is a hold explicitly entered by you. Off days show a dash. The tool derives work codes from the days in this schedule.
Does a gap automatically become a hold or a paid day?
No. A gap stays off unless you select Hold. The report counts work and hold days separately; it does not determine pay, contractual availability or union rules. Confirm bookings and terms with production.
Can I print a long DOOD schedule?
Yes. The tool supports up to 30 performers across 30 consecutive calendar dates. PDFs split dates into groups of ten and repeat the performer names. Work and hold totals cover the whole schedule. For a non-shoot date within the range, leave performers off.
A plan is better with your crew.
