Locations, permits and contacts
Locations come from scene headings. Each holds an address, contact details, notes and uploaded permit documents, and can carry generated establishing shots.
The practical record
The fields that matter on a shoot day are the boring ones: address, contact name and number, and notes. These are what flow onto the call sheet, so a location filled in properly here saves retyping it every shoot day.
Permits upload as a PDF or image and stay attached to the location; View opens the document in a new tab. Keeping the paperwork on the location record means the person who needs it on the day can find it without asking the office.
Working the list
Locations use the same list controls as Scenes, Characters, Wardrobe and Props. Learn them once.
Sort
A–Z, Completion (how much of the record is filled in) or Script order. Click the same key twice to reverse it.
Show deleted
Reveals soft-deleted locations with a Restore button. Nothing is destroyed by a delete, so this is always the way back.
Select mode
Turns rows into checkboxes and opens the bulk bar: Select all, Invert, and the batch actions below.
Bulk actions
Delete, Combine (merge several locations into one, moving every link onto the survivor), Describe and Generate across the whole selection.
A screenplay routinely names one place several ways. Combine merges duplicate locations and moves every scene link onto the one you keep.
