NEW Start-of-day Banners
Due to popular demand, we’ve created a new strip-type called “Start-of-day Banner.” This is essentially a special text-banner that will automatically update the {Shootday #} and {Date} depending on which daybreak the banner belongs to in the stripboard. You can fully customize the default layout, font, color, and {content} of the SoD Banners in the Layout Manager.
How to add SoD Banners to your Stripboard
Step 1. Go to your Stripboard
Step 2. Click the new “Start of Day Banner” icon in the toolbar
Step 3. Move the SoD Banner between your daybreaks and notice how it auto-updates the {Day #} and {Date}
Step 4. Celebrate! 🥳
How to customize SoD Banners in Layout Manager
Step 1. Go to Layout Manager
Step 2. Click the new “Start of Day” tab in the right-panel
Step 3. Customize your SoD Banner cells styling and content
NEW Layout Manager Customization Settings
New 24-grid layouts. We’ve increased the density of the strip layout grid from 12-cells to 24-cells. This allows you to have finer control on the size of each cell in your strip.
New “Prefix” and “Suffix” labels. You can now add any prefix/suffix labels before and after your {content} in each cell. For example, you can now have the word “Cast:” before your list of Cast IDs.
New “Start-of-day” banner designer. Customize the default {content} that you want to appear in all your Start of day banners here. You can choose from {Date}, {Day #}, {Pages}, {Est Time}, and arbitrary notes using the {Text} content type. Aside from the {text} content type, all the above content will be automatically pulled from the associated daybreak that your SoD Banner belongs to. In other words, if you move a SoD banner from Day 1 to Day 2, the corresponding Total Page Count, Total Est Time, and Date will automatically update to Day 2’s values.

Miscellaneous bug fixes / feature requests
Delete more than 1 strip at a time. We made it possible to delete multiple strips at once now. We previously had this rule baked in to prevent accidental bulk-deletion of strips, but too many users said this was very annoying and we’ve removed that safety mechanism.
DooD reports can now hide the episodic rows. We added a new setting to DooD reports such that you can hide the episodic rows and only show the overall “All Episodes” summary row.
Fixed bug where “Minors” checkbox in Edit Cast Element modal wasn’t working. Found a typo in our code that disabled Minors functionality. Fixed it.
Fixed bug where empty text-banners were very thin. Empty banners are now full-height.
Fixed “Add Element” dropdown to be wider. Add Element menu in the breakdown sheet was previously adapting width depending on length of text in your element-list. We fixed this.
In Strip Designer, “Display As = List” now includes quantities of elements after element-name. We had a user attempt to make Vehicles display as a list of elements in the strip and discovered that for non-Background type elements, the quantity of the vehicles was not being displayed in strip. Now it does.
DooD Report Contrast. DooD PDF reports now have darker table-border lines and bolder font for legibility when printing.
