It would be great if it were possible to create custom lists & reports early on!

I would love it if we could start generating lists and reports before we have all the scripts, before they are production/shooting drafts - before a single realistic day/any proper scheduling has started!

When the stripboard is just in story order and you might have a single day break at the end of each Ep to separate them and/or several day breaks with a rough grouping of sets & locations - but no realistic shoot days yet… Some really helpful lists/reports can be made (see attachments) before having a schedule and dates/days/doods.

How many scenes/pages (same list/report can later show DAYS) is 'Cast Member X' in so far? Should we consider hiring them on a daily rate or for the whole shoot?

How many scenes/pages (same list/report can later show DAYS) is 'Set Y' in so far? Should we consider building it or is it better to look for a location?

This usually helps me help production (gets them off my back!) in the early days way before I have a realistic Schedule & DOOD when we're trying to wrap our heads around how much to spend on certain Characters and the Casting Director is having early discussions with Agents and/or the Production Designer & Production are understanding what sets to build...
