The pipeline
Where Locations sits in the production flow.
Where the production actually happens. Locations sits between the breakdown's INT/EXT extraction and the call sheet's daily address. Every confirmed location flows automatically to the call sheet, the schedule's company-move logic, and the producer's risk dashboard.

Call Sheet
Confirmed locations flow into the daily call sheet with address, parking notes, hospital, lat/lng for the weather widget.
Calendar
Company-move distances feed the day-order optimiser; back-to-back distant locations get flagged.

Per-location Send to AI Artist for style-locked concept renders before scouting day.
Producer
Permit expiry windows + scout completion rates surface on the producer dashboard.
Frequently asked
Common questions about Locations.
Can I track multiple permit statuses per location?
Yes - each permit row carries its own status chip (pending / approved / expired / rejected) and expiry date with 30-day alerts surfaced on the producer dashboard.
Does the travel matrix know about real driving distances?
Yes - distances + drive times auto-calculate between every scouted pin pair. The day-order optimiser reads from it to minimise total company-move time across the schedule.
Can the AI Artist generate location concept renders before I scout?
Yes - per-location Send to AI Artist generates a style-locked concept render of any location at any time of day. Pre-visualise interior, exterior, day, night, weather before scouting day.
Can locations export as KML for Google Earth?
Yes - one-click KML export ships all scouted pins with metadata. Plus a per-location embed lands on every call sheet PDF.
