Step-By-Step Guide to Using Pre-Production

This article will assume that you are adding your first title to Pre-Production. There are infinite ways to use this module; we will show you some of the possibilities. Please note that for demonstration purposes, we have not added a workflow to this example. There is further information available for adding workflows.

Adding an Idea to Pre-Production:

Adding All Contacts Associated with the Idea:

Adding a Sales Forecast:

Costing a Possible Project:

Reviewing the Estimated Profit & Loss for a Project:

Adding Editorial Tasks to your Project:

This area is designed to be a list of dates for tasks that need to be completed before a book can progress to its production stage. These tasks do not have staff assigned to them, but are rather things that need to be done. Here is an example of what could appear here:

Adding Reviewers' Quotations Regarding the Project:

Manipulating the Editorial Schedule Tab:

Recording the Sales Rights:

Adding Royalties Information:

Creating a Predicted Production Schedule:

Move a Title from Pre-Production to Production:

 

After you 'move' a title from Pre to Book Production, the record will remain in Pre-Production simultaneously. This is because this part of the system has been created to store and record information that you may need to access very far down the track.

Archive the title to remove it from the list view.
