Flags, follow-ups and Tag Watch

Three ways to make sure the right logs reach the right people: flag a problem, ask for a follow-up, or watch a tag as logs arrive.

Flags#

A flag marks a log that needs attention, such as a focus problem, a sound issue, or a release still to get. Flags have an open or resolved status, so they work as a to-do list.

1. 1

   In History, press the red flag (Flag this log) on the log.

2. 2

   Choose a kind of flag, or press Add Flag to make a new kind. New kinds are kept for everyone on the project.

3. 3

   Describe the problem, set the status to Open, and press Save.

Flags in the project menu lists every flag, newest first, with who raised it. Press View Log to open the log, the pencil to change the flag (set it to Resolved once it is dealt with), or the bin to delete it.

Follow-ups#

A follow-up is a question or task about a log: a shot to check, a name to confirm, a moment for the edit to look at. Each follow-up belongs to a group you choose, such as Legal or Edit, and has a status of New, In Progress or Complete.

1. 1

   In History, press the green question mark (Follow up on this log) on the log.

2. 2

   Pick a group, or press Add to make a new one, and describe what needs doing.

3. 3

   Press Save. It starts as New.

Follow-up in the project menu lists them under their groups. The menu at the top shows one group at a time. Open, change and delete them the same way as flags.

Raising, changing and deleting flags and follow-ups needs edit access to logs. Anyone who can see the logs can see them.

Tag Watch#

Tag Watch is your own live feed of the tags you care about. A producer can follow one character, or an editor can watch for anything tagged Highlight, while the shoot is still going.

1. 1

   Choose Tag Watch in the project menu.

2. 2

   Add the tags you want to watch with Search tags. Your choice is remembered for next time, and it is yours alone: other people's Tag Watch is not affected.

3. 3

   Pick the dates. It opens on today.

Every log carrying any of your tags appears on the left as it is saved, with its other tags counted as + N others. Click one to read the whole log, including its recording and transcript, on the right.

Comments#

For a remark that isn't a problem or a task, add a comment instead:

• Press the orange Add comment button on a log in History.
• Give it a Topic, write the comment, and press Post.

Comments show under the log for everyone on the project.
