Customize a production report's layout and branding

How to customize report headers, page layout, and branding

The Misc Info / Settings tab is where a production report gets your look: company logo, paper size, table spacing, footer, and signature blocks.

Open the day's report from your schedule and select the Misc Info / Settings tab, the cog icon at the far right.

Click the cog tab at the end of the tab strip

Project-wide vs. report-only settings

Some controls here change every call sheet and production report in the project. Others change only the report you have open. Look for the small globe icon beside a heading.

Hover the globe to see which settings are project-wide

  • Globe icon, project-wide: Header Layout and Footer Design.
  • No globe, this report only: everything under Page Settings, such as paper size and table spacing.

In Header Layout:

  • Click the Left, Center, or Right icons to align the header text.
  • Drag the handle beside Production Title, Company Name, or Logo to reorder them.
  • Switch Logo on and click the image frame to upload a transparent PNG or JPG. SetHero recommends 300px x 80px.
  • Use Logo Scale to set the width, from 30px to 400px, and Logo Align to choose New Line, Float Left, or Float Right.

Drag a header item by its handle, or switch it off

Expand the Production Title row to edit the project title and production code directly.

Note: Uploading a custom header logo requires the Custom Branding add-on. See Subscription plans explained.

Paper size and table spacing

Set the page dimensions and choose Compact or Comfortable

Enter the page Width, Height, and Units:

  • US Letter: 8.5 by 11 inches (the default).
  • US Legal: 8.5 by 14 inches.
  • A4: 21 by 29.7 centimeters.

Tip: A long report with large cast and crew logs often fits better on US Legal.

For table spacing, Comfortable is standard padding and Compact tightens the rows to fit more on a page.

In Footer Design, switch Show SetHero branding in footer? off to remove the SetHero line from your PDFs. This also requires the Custom Branding add-on.

Switch off the SetHero line at the foot of the report

Signature blocks

Signature Spaces adds up to three signature lines at the bottom of page 1. Pick a crew member for Signature 1, 2, and 3, such as the UPM, director, or 1st AD. Their position and name print under a signature line. Click the ✕ beside a dropdown to remove one.

Pick a crew member for each space, and see how it prints

Everything saves automatically, and the Live preview shows the updated layout.
