„Production details“
The production details show the visualization of a complete call sheet of a production including staff list, fleet, additional equipment, and all memos belonging to this production.

„Production report“
The production report is a comfortable possibility to write a detailed report right after a production, send it as soon as possible to the management, and save it in the Broadcast Manager hostsystem.

„Timekeeping“
