How to create custom project crew roles

How to create custom crew roles within your project

Written by Cameron

StudioBinder allows you to create custom crew roles for your project. This is useful when a production requires positions that aren't included in the default role list, helping you organize contacts, call sheets, and production documents more accurately. Follow along to learn how!

Note: These roles will be local to the project you create them in & will not be available in any other project.

Step 1 ⎯ Open project settings

From your Project Overview page, hover over the Settings tab on the sidebar to reveal & click Departments from the project settings drop-down menu.

Step 2 ⎯ Select a department

Select the department you want to add the new role to.

Note: If you don't see the department you're looking for, you can create a custom department.

Step 3 ⎯ Add a new position

Click + New Position in the top-right corner to create a custom role.

Step 4 ⎯ Create the position

Enter the position name and short name, then click Create Position.
