If a crew member’s profile picture is bigger than 100kb it can slow SquidWeb down, if there are many crew members with large profile pictures this can greatly affect the time taken to load features like the crew planner.
To solve this issue simply resize the image to remove and unnecessary background content from the photo.
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.
When a contact is assigned a language, all future reports and documents created in SquidWeb will be automatically generated in this language.
Just set the contact’s language in the contact details container and SquidWeb will take care of the rest.
Contact Persons may also be assigned a language for individual contact methods, but only the language assigned to the contact itself will affect the reports.
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.
