Adding characters to scenes
Linking a character to a scene tells Haystack who is on set that day, and gives their changes, looks and wear notes a place to show up against the scene.
Adding a character to a scene
- Open the scene from your Scenes list and go to the Characters tab.
- Click Add Character. The Add Characters dialog lists everyone not already in the scene.
- Tick the characters you want and confirm. They appear under the scene right away.
- Open the scene and go to the Characters tab.
- Tap the add button at the bottom to open the Add characters list.
- Select the characters and tap Add. If the character does not exist yet, tap create to add a new one and drop it straight into the scene.
Removing a character is safe
Removing a character from a scene only detaches the link. It does not delete anything. Their changes, looks and wear notes stay with the character. Add the same character back to the scene and their previous changes and wear notes come straight back.
Pulled a character off a scene by accident? Add them back and nothing is lost. The continuity you logged against them was never tied to the link, so it reappears exactly as it was.
Once a character is in the scene, log what they wear. See Scene wear notes.
