Every great shoot starts with knowing exactly what comes next. Kelvin's Shot List turns each barcode scan into an organized lineup of work, loads the style guide requirements for every item, and shows its status at a glance. Whether you're shooting one production type or several per product, on your own or connected to a planned session, the Shot List keeps your set focused and moving.

Introduction

The Shot List is a panel in Kelvin that displays all tasks being worked on during a shoot session. It keeps the on-set team organized by tracking products as they are scanned, confirmed, and completed.

Basic VS Connected

The functionality and appearance of the shot list varies slightly depending on whether it is connected to a Planning Session or not. The differences are reflected in two separate modes: Basic and Connected.

➕ Connecting your shot list to a Planning Session requires your studio to have the Planning Module enabled; otherwise, only the basic shot list is available.

Basic Shot List

This is the default state of the Shot List. Items are added in one of two ways:
- Scan a Barcode: product is added live as you shoot
- Paste a List: click + to pre-load product/sample codes before shooting.

Connected Shot List

Once a Planning Session has been associated:
- Pre-Loads Products: Products associated with the Planning session are automatically loaded into the list.
- Scan a Barcode: Add an additional product to shoot ad hoc; you will need to confirm if it is not part of the pre-planned list.

Shot List Controls

On the header bars of the shot list, there will be multiple icons indicating actions that can be taken. Which Icons appear depends on whether you are in Connected or Basic shooting mode, and whether you have certain add-ons enabled.

Icon	Name	Description
	Session Menu	Requires the Planning add-on. Bring up the session calendar menu to view and select an alternate session.
	Automation	Requires the Kelvin Automation add-on. Configure automation settings to auto-map matching files to their intended style guide position. Learn more.
	Add	Session Menu: bring up the session calendar menu to view and select an alternate planning session. Paste a List: paste a list of barcodes copied from a spreadsheet or another list.
	Actions	Disconnect Session: unassociate the currently selected session and remove items from the shot list. Clear Shot List: In a connected session, removes only the items added from Kelvin and takes them out of the planned session. Planned items stay. Not connected: clears all.

Product List

On the Shot List, each item that needs to be shot appears as a single line. This is true regardless of whether you are connected to a session or not.

	How the header of each listed item appears in the list is configurable: Kelvin Settings → General → 'Shot List Display Options.'
	Whether display images for the product are shown is controlled via: Display Settings → 'Show Display Image in Shot List.' →
	To remove a product from your shot list, hover over it in the list, then: Select the minus icon that appears to the right of the header

Production Lanes

When your shot list is connected to a Session that has been set as a mixed-production type session, the Product List will be further categorized into production type-specific lanes, sub-listed under the parent code.

	Header for the parent Product; header lane title is configurable: Kelvin Settings → Shot List Display Options → 'Mixed Production'
	Each additional production type added appears as a sub-lane. Use the arrow to the right of the header to collapse/expand sub-lanes.
	By default, each sub-lane shows production type, but can be configured: Shot List Display Options → Mixed Production → 'Production Type'

Shot Readiness

The color of the text for the item maps to a general status that visualises its readiness: blue for ready, orange if it needs confirmation before proceeding, and red to alert that there is an issue with the related production that must be addressed.

Color	Status	Description
	Confirmed	The product is confirmed and ready to shoot, or has already been shot, and the task is complete. Confirmed products can appear as a dark blue or a light blue shade, but have no functional difference between them.
	Unconfirmed	The task is unconfirmed, and Kelvin needs you to verify which instance of the related data you are working with.
	Alerted	The product has a status that requires attention, such as the task being invalid or a transfer having failed.

Status Icons

In addition to the color of a listed item to shoot, icons are displayed to the left of list item that visualize further information about its status. You can think of these as being sub-categories or variations of the main Readiness Status.

Ready Statuses

The following icons can appear to the left of the listed item if they are blue in the list and confirmed. No matter which icon appears, the confirmed status means the product is ready to shoot.

Icon	Name	Description
	Confirmed	The barcode was scanned and confirmed. It is ready to be shot by mapping assets.
	Reshoot	The task was previously completed and rejected back to capture to be shot again.
	Favorited	The task is the current active Session Favorite; only shows when Session Favorite Control is enabled. Learn more.
	Saved	The user saved their image selection for this task (Save / Ctrl+S), and it hasn't been transferred yet. Removed when the transfer starts, or the item is removed from the shot list.

Transfer Statuses

The following icons can appear to the left of the listed item if they are blue in the list and confirmed. All icons are different variations of the shot item's transfer status.

Icon	Name	Description
	Transfer (ready)	Shows while files are waiting or being checked before transfer.
	Transfer (in progress)	Shows while files are actively being transferred from Kelvin to Creative Force.
	Transfer (paused)	The transfer was paused or stopped manually by a user via the 'stop transfer' action.
	Done	The transfer is finished, and the assets were uploaded to Creative Force successfully.

Alert Statuses

The following icons can appear to the left of the listed item if they are red or orange in the list and need attention. When an alert is related, more steps must be taken before shooting or transferring can proceed.

Icon	Name	Description
	Un-confirmed	Shows when the scan needs the user to confirm a task before proceeding. Usually due to one of the following: An instance of the product has to be picked, as there are multiple of the same barcode scanned. An instance of the production has to be picked, as there are multiple on varying jobs/projects. A sample has to be picked, as there are multiple samples related to the product.
	Not Found	The task is invalid. This may appear when a task has been removed from a planned session.
	Error	The task encountered an error during the transfer process and could not be completed. Restart to try again.
	Inactive	(no icon, text is grey) The item's production type is disabled at the studio level. Reach out to one of your studio's administrators and have them review it in the web app.
