Call sheets are populated automatically by referring to the schedule for a list of resources scheduled on a given day. Sides are generated in a similar way, by printing all the script pages scheduled to be shot on a given day for a given part. Other reports include: Breakdown sheets; Resource lists, breakdowns, and continuity reports
