The Scheduling tab turns your script breakdown into a shooting plan. It contains four views that share the same schedule data:
Stripboard — the production board for building and reordering your schedule.
Calendar — calendar grid that maps shooting days to real dates and flags conflicts.
DOOD — Day Out of Days report tracking when each tag is needed on set.
Sides — per-day script packets for cast and crew, pulled from your schedule.
Switch between views from the Scheduling dropdown on the ribbon. The dropdown label updates to match the active view (Stripboard, Calendar, DOOD, or Sides).
