Create it
Click Create Errand. The card lands in the Assigned column, and the job shows up in the runner’s app.

The New Errand form with a title, an address and notes filled in

A name marked (not on app) in the Assignee list belongs to someone who hasn’t paired a phone. You can still give them the errand, but they won’t see it until they pair. The form tells you this under the field.

What the runner sees

In CinemaCrew they open Runner, then the Errands tab. An errand shows the address, the due time, your notes and an ETA. Navigate opens directions. Tapping Start moves the card to En route on your board, and Mark done moves it to Done. They can add proof photos from the same screen.

Find a runner, or change the plan

Locate them
Click Locate on a card. The map flies to that runner, opens their pin and draws the path they took. If they aren’t sharing their location, a message tells you. A card with no one on it has no Locate button.
Give it to someone else
Click the name on the card and pick another crew member from the list.
Set the status yourself
The switch at the bottom of each card reads Assigned, En route and Done. Click one when a runner’s phone is dead or they forgot to tap it.
