Connections in words
- Assignment is called for work on Day.
- Day plans work through Schedule.
- Schedule is frozen into Call Sheet.
- Call Sheet receives version-specific Acknowledgement.
- Acknowledgement is distinct from recorded Presence.
- Day records Presence.
Available, booked, called, acknowledged and present are different facts.
One canonical operational day
Production Day connects the date and location to the work planned for that day.
- Date
- Location
- Schedule
- Active Groups
- Assignments
- Individual Call Times
- Call Sheet
- Presence
- Acknowledgement
The plan and what happened
The schedule plans work. An issued Call Sheet freezes a version of that plan and its recipient context. Acknowledgement records a response to that version. Presence records participation on the day; opening a sheet is not arriving on set.
Not every calendar entry is a Production Day
Availability, bookings, meetings, holds and deadlines retain their own meanings. A canonical operational day is created for production work, not inferred from every dated event.

Conceptual architecture. Implementation and release status are assessed separately.
Domain
Production Assignment
A descriptive record of the work a production member performs.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
A person can perform several jobs without duplicating identity or membership.
Example
One member has a camera assignment and a later second-unit assignment.
Connects to
- Membership performs work through Assignment
- Assignment retains participation Membership
- Assignment describes work as Role
- Assignment classifies work in Department
- Assignment belongs to / leads Group
- Assignment is called for work on Day
- Resource has work context Assignment
- Assignment contributes work to Today
Implementation notes
Work assignments may describe role, department, groups, dates and reporting relationships.
Public evidence: Production membership and work assignments are separate records.

Technical details
Reports-to, shadowing and replacement describe relationships between assignments within one Production. They preserve participation and history and do not grant software authority.
Conceptual explanation; private implementation details are omitted.
Domain
Production Day
An operational work day inside a production.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
A calendar event alone does not define a production’s calls, publication and attendance.
Example
Tomorrow’s production day ties a schedule to people, assignments and an issued call sheet.
Connects to
- Assignment is called for work on Day
- Production owns operational Day
- Day plans work through Schedule
- Day publishes Call Sheet
- Day records Presence
- Resource has operational context Day
Implementation notes
Meetings and holds do not automatically become Production Days.
Public evidence: Production Days connect schedules, issued call sheets and presence.

Domain
Schedule
The planned sequence and timing of work.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
Planning must remain distinguishable from publication and actual attendance.
Example
A day’s schedule orders scenes, calls and locations.
Connects to
- Day plans work through Schedule
- Schedule is frozen into Call Sheet
- Schedule contributes planned time to Today
Implementation notes
Date-only periods and time-zone-aware instants are different concepts.

Projection
Call Sheet
An issued operational projection of a production day.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
People need a stable version of the plan they were actually called against.
Example
An issued sheet freezes the reviewed schedule and recipient context.
Connects to
- Schedule is frozen into Call Sheet
- Day publishes Call Sheet
- Call Sheet targets eligible recipients through Audience
- Call Sheet receives version-specific Acknowledgement
- Call Sheet projects recipient obligations into Attention
Implementation notes
Publication, delivery, viewing and acknowledgement have separate meanings.
Public evidence: Production Days connect schedules, issued call sheets and presence.

Acknowledgement
A recipient’s response to an issued call-sheet version.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
Opening a page or admitting delivery does not establish a crew member’s acknowledgement.
Example
A member acknowledges the exact issued call sheet.
Connects to
- Call Sheet receives version-specific Acknowledgement
- Acknowledgement is distinct from recorded Presence
Implementation notes
Acknowledgement is version-specific and distinct from arrival.
Public evidence: Production Days connect schedules, issued call sheets and presence.

Conceptual explanation; private implementation details are omitted.
Domain
Presence
Recorded participation and arrival state on a production day.
See this concept connect visually →
Why it exists
Planned work and actual on-set participation should never be inferred from each other.
Example
Called, acknowledged, checked in, late, absent, wrapped and replaced are conceptual distinctions.
Connects to
- Acknowledgement is distinct from recorded Presence
- Day records Presence
