The DOOD (Day Out of Days) report shows when each cast member or other tagged element is needed across your shooting schedule. Filmustage builds the report automatically once you create a shooting schedule with day breaks.
The DOOD report opens from the Scheduling dropdown, alongside the Stripboard and Calendar views.
Before you begin
Open the DOOD report
Procedure
Go to app.filmustage.com and open your project.
On the ribbon, select Scheduling, then select DOOD from the dropdown.
In the top-right corner, select a category pill (e.g., CAST) to filter the report to that category.
Switch between Grid and Summary views
The DOOD report has two views. Switch between them using the Grid / Summary toggle in the toolbar.
Grid — a calendar matrix showing each cast member's status on every shooting day with color-coded day codes (SW, W, WF, SWF, H, Off). The bottom row shows the total cast on set per day.
Summary — a condensed view showing each cast member's first shooting day, last shooting day, and total span.
Expand to fullscreen
For wide DOOD grids — projects with many cast members or long shooting schedules — switch to fullscreen mode. Select the expand icon in the top-left corner of the toolbar. Select the icon again to return to the standard view.
Day codes (Grid view)
Filmustage uses these codes in the Grid view to show each cast member's status on a given shooting day:
🟢 SW — Start Work (first scheduled working day)
🔵 W — Work
🔴 WF — Work Finish (last scheduled working day)
🟡 SWF — Start / Work / Finish (single working day)
⚪ H — Hold (non-working day between two working days)
Off — Off Day (not scheduled)
🔴 Unavailability Conflict — a scheduled working day clashes with a date you marked as unavailable for the tag (see Edit a tag)
Note: Traditional industry DOOD charts use additional codes (such as R for Rehearsal, T for Travel, PW for Pick-Up Work, DL for Drop). Filmustage's DOOD report uses only the six codes listed above.
Filter and search
Use the toolbar controls to focus the report:
Search tag — type a tag name to filter rows.
Show Conflicts — toggle unavailability conflict highlighting (available in both views).
Show Hold — toggle Hold day cells (Grid view only).
Show Days Off — toggle Off Day cells (Grid view only).
Column headers with arrow icons (▲/▼) are sortable: Cast ID, Tag Name, Work, Hold in both views, plus First Day, Last Day, and Span in Summary view.
Open the Edit Tag dialog
Select any tag name in the Tag Name column to open the Edit Tag dialog for that tag. From there, you can rename the tag, edit notes, adjust unavailable dates, change the Cast ID, and more. For details, see Edit a tag.
Export the DOOD report
Procedure
In the top-right corner, select Export.
From the dropdown, select one of four options:
CAST – PDF — current CAST category as PDF
All Categories – PDF — every category as a single PDF
CAST – XLSX — current CAST category as XLSX (Excel, Google Sheets)
All Categories – XLSX — every category as a single XLSX
Filmustage downloads the file to your device.
Tip: Once exported, you can import the XLSX file into Google Sheets for sharing and collaboration.
