Creating a change or look
Changes and looks are created from the character who wears them. Open the character and go to their changes: costume uses the Changes tab, Hair & Make up uses the Looks tab. The form is the same either way.
Adding a change
- Open the character from your characters list.
- Open the Changes tab for a costume change, or the Looks tab for a Hair & Make up look. Both tabs sit side by side on the character.
- Add a new one and enter the ID, for example 1, 2A or 3B. This field is required.
- Add an optional Name and any notes. Costume labels this field Change Wear Notes; Hair & Make up labels it Look Notes.
- Click Create. The change opens, ready for scenes and garments.
To edit a change later, open it, click Edit, make your changes, then Save.
- Open the character, then open their Changes list (Looks in Hair & Make up).
- Tap the add button to start a New Change (New Look in Hair & Make up).
- Enter the Change ID (Look ID in Hair & Make up). The app suggests the next free number, and warns if the ID is already in use.
- Add an optional Name, notes in the Change Wear Notes field (Look Notes in Hair & Make up), and any reference images.
- Tap save. The change appears straight away, even offline.
To edit a change later, open it, tap the edit button, then save.
The ID only has to be unique for that character within your department, so two characters can both have a change 1.
With the change created, tell Haystack which scenes it appears in. See Linking changes to scenes.
