Reports and Printing

The reports you ran in Movie Magic Scheduling 6 are all here. This page points to each one and covers the settings that change how output looks.

Day-Out-of-Days

The DOOD marks each working day with a letter code, and supports Hold and Drop/Pickup rules per element. See Day-Out-of-Days for the screen, and DOOD Rules for full definitions of each code.

Printing the DOOD

The DOOD prints and exports from the Reports tab, not from the DOOD tab. Run it as either DOOD Report or DOOD Summary, then print or export from there. See DOOD Report and DOOD Summary.

When the DOOD Does Not Match Your MMS 6 Output

Two settings account for most differences.

• The working week controls which days count as working days. This setting is shared with the Calendar. See Setting the Working Week.
• The DOOD opens in a vertical layout. Switch to the horizontal layout for wide-format printing. See Switching Between Vertical and Horizontal Layouts.

Sorting applies to the vertical view only. A sort lasts for the current session and clears when you close the schedule, switch Sub-Boards, or leave the DOOD tab. It is not saved to the file. See Sorting the DOOD.

One-Line Schedule

See One-line Schedule.

Printing from the Board

Print the whole Sub-board or only the strips you select. See Print and Download.

Choosing Which Categories Print

In Movie Magic Scheduling 6, you set the Categories a report showed in its layout in the Report Designer. In Movie Magic Scheduling 10, you choose Categories in each report's layout settings. The Breakdown page does not control what prints.

Each layout keeps its own selection, so one Shooting Schedule layout can print Cast and Props while another prints Set Dressing.

To choose Categories on the Shooting Schedule, click the Settings icon (cog) and select Edit. By default, all Categories are included. See Shooting Schedule.

The Shooting Schedule has two separate settings. Filter Category chooses which Strips appear, based on the Categories they contain. Categories chooses which Categories appear beneath each Strip.

The Breakdown Report prints every Category. To print a breakdown for one department, use a Shooting Schedule layout with only that department's Categories selected. See Breakdown Report.

To print a breakdown for each shooting day, set Group by to Day in the Breakdown Report. It prints each day's Strips followed by one merged block per Category. See Grouped by Shoot Day.

Report Headers

Rebuild your header in the report header designer, which draws on your Production Info. See Reports.
