For managers: What gets published in personal calendars and how to manage it

Team members can subscribe to their personal cross-production calendar feed that fetches production events that they have been added to.

Note! Events do not pop up in your team members’ calendars immediately after being added to Dramatify. The time delay depend on the individual team member’s calendar provider.

What is published?

The personal calendar feed includes events scheduled either in the day planner/day list or in call sheets.

Note that ONLY events in PUBLISHED day lists and call sheets are included in the personal calendar feeds. If you have not yet published a day list and/or call sheet for a specific day or team, nothing will show up.

How do I see what is published?

You can see which call sheets are published at a glance in the production calendar if they have a solid colour background. A striped background mean that they are unpublished and will only be visible to team members with full access to the planning section.

Published day plans events have an icon, shown below, to the right of the link.

View which call sheets and event days to be included in the iCalendar feed.

For whom is it visible?

For an event to show up in a team member’s feed they must be included:

  • as a named individual who is scheduled
  • as a member of a department that is scheduled
  • as a member of a team*, crew or cast who is included in a call sheet
  • if ‘everyone’ is included

* A team in this aspect mean that they belong to the team for a published call sheet, indicated by the chosen colour. Belonging to a team is a requirement for crew to show up on a call sheet. The production can set in the Planning settings if only booked crew members of a team should be added to the call sheet or if ALL members of a team should be added to the call sheet.

Can I shut off the calendar feed functionality for my production?

Yes, certainly!

  • You need to have full access to the Planning section.
  • Click on Planning and then on Settings in the orange toolbar.
