Tab works in SquidWeb in the same way it functions throughout Windows- Tab will move focus to the next tab stop and Shift+Tab will move focus back to the previous tab stop.
This can be used to navigate projects pages or dialoges.
However, when a dialog pops up, using Shift+Tab will jump focus straight to the last tab stop, allowing you to release the dialog instantly.
When a rate card with an external minimum call is applied to a project, that minimum call will automatically be displayed on project calculation reports.
If a position is booked for only 2hrs, the project calculations will still display the full length of the minimum call.
The minimum call of individual positions can also be edited at any time from the rates’ container in the SidePanel, so you don’t need to edit the rate card if a different minimum call is agreed upon.
After the project is done and the CL uploads the project reports to SquidWeb, it will appear on your today page.
Use the doc to fill in the project hours and then be sure to mark it as process so others know the job is done!
A correctly processed document will no longer appear in the today page documents container.
If you are working in squid and need access to the menu or to visit a different page, using these shortcuts will allow instant access:
[Menu] will open the context menu
[CTRL+Shift ] will open the container & main menu
[Return] will open the data row menu
If you create a new project via the context menu in the projects list, a new project dialog with the same client and company will be triggered!
The context menu is accessed by right clicking on a project or pressing the menu key on your keyboard.
Block dates are set when a crew member is unavailable to work for a set period of time, if an attempt to book the crew member is made over a block date, the planner will be alerted by the system.
Block dates are added in the Crew Planner and will allow you to set the duration, days and reason for the absence.
Individual or multiple weekdays can be blocked in one action with this feature. Great for crew members that are studying for example.
Accreditation reports can be generated directly from a project page.
All crew details are exported from SquidWeb to an Excel file to be sent to your client as crew member accreditation.
When you add a new location to SquidWeb 3, geolocation data is used to calculate the location of a venue. The details you enter are used calculate where in the world your new location is and places the location pin on the map.
But remember, the pin will NOT be accurate to the front door of the location, this means you have to move the pin to the exact meeting point you want your crew members to use when they have a job there. This might be the loading bay of an arena or the service entrance to hotel, but make sure click and drag that pin to where you want the crew to meet!
Here is our guide to add new location in SquidWeb:
