Filter Anything
Accountants can now filter start packs, invoices, and timesheets by specific parameters to refine searches. Easily find unapproved start packs from the Grip and Electric department, invoices over $500, timesheets submitted within a date range, or payroll runs that include a specific worker.
Department Heads in the Chain of Approval
Now, you can add department heads to the approval chain, enabling them to approve their colleagues’ start packs, daily reports, timesheets, or invoices before they reach the production office.
All Submissions, All in One Place
Accountants can now effortlessly review all worker submissions—Start Packs, Daily Reports, Timesheets, Invoices, and Vouchers—in one convenient location.
Signing in with Google SSO
Workers can register or log into their Circus account via Google SSO, simplifying access to profiles, start packs, timesheets, and invoices. MFA is required for added security.
Collect Passports
Planning an overseas shoot? Now, when a team member is invited, you can require a valid passport to be uploaded during onboarding, streamlining travel coordination and making the process even smoother.
Bi-Weekly Timesheet Support
Productions can now select whether workers submit Timesheets on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, offering more flexibility in tracking and managing work hours.
Download Headshots
Headshots uploaded to worker profiles can now be easily downloaded by departments like hair and makeup for looks or the production office for security badges.
Improvements
To streamline background actor onboarding, AABP has been added to the database, allowing workers to select their ACTRA member status.
Timesheets cannot be approved without an approved Start Pack, ensuring workers cannot be paid without a valid contract.
A new "Paid" section has been added to Accounts Payable, providing a centralized location to easily track all completed invoices.
We've updated the copy in production settings for better clarity, particularly regarding the ‘Disable default credits’ feature and its impact on deal points and worker onboarding.
Fixes
The issue where a worker’s bump rate wasn’t appearing correctly in payroll runs has been fixed.
Timesheets mistakenly labeled as ‘Invoices’ in payroll have now been corrected.
Coding is now retroactive, so labor and kit codes will appear on Timesheets, even if the Start Pack is coded after submission.
Onboarding errors will now automatically scroll the page to highlight any missing information.
Timesheets and Payroll Runs are now sorted by the most recent creation date.
When converting a backstage invite to a start pack, the union and role are now editable.
