General Details

Previous Topic Return Home Next Topic

 

There are basic details about every Booked Project that should not be forgotten!

 

That's why we created the General Details Section!

 

 

Okay, so let's to dive into the wonderful world of General Details:

 

 

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

DATE BOOKED

 
The day you Booked the job is displayed in the Date Booked field box for you!

 

DATE BUTTON

To change the Date Booked click on the Calendar Button next to the Date Booked field box to launch the pop-up Calendar Picker.

 

 

The Date Booked is NOT tied to the Calendar Section because it is NOT a scheduled appointment that needs to be in you Calendar.  The Date Booked is merely a good reference for you to call back upon when needed.

SCRIPT AVAILABLE

 
If your Booked Project is one that involves you using a script make sure you find out when you can have access to it!

 

CALENDAR BUTTON

To enter a Script Available Date click on the Calendar Button next to the Date field box to launch the pop-up Calendar Picker.

 

SCHEDULING: The Script Available Date you enter is automatically scheduled in the Calendar section for you!  Awesome!

EPISODE / SPOT TITLE

 
If your Booked Project is a TV Show , Commercial or Voice Over, chances are that there is an Episode/Spot Title for it.

 

For example, if you booked a Guest Star role on "Desperate Housewives" - then you may come to learn that the Episode Title is "Susan's Big Surprise".

 

Another example may be that you booked a Voice Over job for a "Target" commercial - the Spot Title may be "The Back To School Rule".

 

MULTIPLE EPISODES/SPOTS: The Episode/Spot Title is VERY important in the event you get booked for the same show, or by the same company, multiple times. For example, if you are brought on for a 3 episode recurring role in "Desperate Housewives", you would treat each episode as its own Booked Project.  With each Booked Project having its own unique Project Number and Episode Title. This will help you immensely when payments come your way and you can apply them to the correct Episode/Spot.

 

NO QUOTES NEEDED: You do NOT need to add quotes (") to the Episode/Spot Title (i.e. - "Susan's Big Surprise").  If you do, no problem! PerformerTrack will automatically remove them for you. The reason why quotes are removed is to make sure that PerformerTrack doesn't get confused by them and cause any errors. That's a good thing!

EPISODE / SPOT NUMBER

 
If your Booked Project is a TV Show , Commercial or Voice Over, chances are that there is an Episode/Spot Number for it.

 

For example, if you booked a Guest Star role on "Desperate Housewives" - then you may come to learn that the Episode Title is "Susan's Big Surprise" and the Episode Number is "503".

 

Another example may be that you booked a Voice Over job for a "Target" commercial - the Spot Title may be "The Back To School Rule" and the Spot Number is "J092008".

 

MULTIPLE EPISODES/SPOTS: The Episode/Spot Number is VERY important in the event you get booked for the same show, or by the same company, multiple times. For example, if you are brought on for a 3 episode recurring role in "Desperate Housewives", you would treat each episode as its own Booked Project.  With each Booked Project having its own unique Project Number , Episode Title and Episode Number. This will help you  tremendously when payments come your way and you can apply them to the correct Episode/Spot.

 

SYMBOLS & CHARACTERS: If the Episode/Spot Number contains any special symbols and/or characters (such as "-", "#" , "@", etc.) PerformerTrack will automatically remove them to avoid any programming glitches or issues.

PAY?

 
Is the project you booked a paying gig or a non-paying one?

 

If it does pay, what category does it fall under?

 

This quick-reference drop down menu allows you to mark this project with a type of Pay you can expect.

 

The 'Pay?' drop down menu is for reference only. Whatever you select has NO baring on either the 'Income' or 'Expenses' areas.  For instance, if you select 'Scale + 10%' as an option, it is up to you to report this on the 'Income & Expenses' Section.
