Selecting your project and department

This article covers the mobile app.

Get the app →

When you first sign in, Haystack asks which production and department you are working on so it shows you the right data and the right wording.

Choosing your project

  1. Under "Which project would you like to work with?", pick your production from the dropdown.
  2. Under "Which department do you work with?", choose Costume or Hair & Make up.
  3. Set the Sync high quality images toggle if you want full-resolution photos pulled down to this device.
  4. Save to start syncing that production.

What department changes

Your department sets the wording you see across the app. Costume shows Changes and Garments; Hair & Make up shows Looks and Kit. It is the same production underneath, just framed for your department.

You can change your department later. In Settings, use the Department dropdown to switch between Costume and Hair & Make up.

For the other options on this device, including the high quality images toggle and your active project, see Mobile app settings.
