Fields and status
An item records where you'd get something and what it costs. Status runs scouted → reserved → rented, with passed as a deliberate dead end.
The fields
| Field | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Name | What the thing is. Be specific; you will be searching this list in three weeks. |
| Category | prop, lighting, grip, camera, vehicle, set dressing, wardrobe, or other. Filters the board by department. |
| Vendor | Free-text name of the rental house or supplier, for when it isn’t a place in your project. |
| Location | Or link a Location instead, and inherit its address and contacts. |
| Daily rate | What it costs per day. Turns the board into a hire budget. |
| Notes | Condition, availability, who you spoke to, what they said about the deal. |
| Photos | The gallery. The reason the tab exists. |
Status
Status here is procurement: where you have got to in obtaining the thing. The prep status on a breakdown element is a different question: whether it is ready to shoot.
| Status | Means | Committed? |
|---|---|---|
| Scouted | Found and photographed. | No. Looking only. |
| Reserved | Held with the vendor, not yet collected. | Usually yes, since most houses charge for a held booking. |
| Rented | In your possession, on the clock. | Yes, and accruing. |
| Passed | Considered and rejected. | No. Kept deliberately so nobody re-scouts it. |
