This video demonstrates inventory and ownership tracking in CueCall, starting with your costumes grouped by character, status, and scene appearance.
Add new inventory items quickly by specifying a name, category, and status, and see them appear instantly.
Assign costume pieces directly to a character so every actor in that role sees it in their complete look.
The Props tab's By Scene view lists all props needed for each scene, perfect for generating your prop plot.
The item's detail page provides a complete record of its photos, ownership status, location, and assigned scenes.
