Overview
Overview
Toon Boom Manager is a web-based production-tracking tool. It was originally developed
in a genuine 2D animation production environment. It allows projects to be imported from
Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and integrated with Toon Boom Harmony. This highly-customizable
tool can also be used on its own to track any linear production process such as 3D animation,
stop-motion, or a hybrid production.
This online manual will introduce you to Toon Boom Manager’s basic functions and get you off to
a speedy start.

manually added to the Team Members of
said project.
45
Creating a New Project
To create a new project:
1. In the Navigation toolbar, click on the Admin button.
1
2
2. In the Admin - Main Menu, go to the Maintain Projects section.
3. In the Admin - Project List section, click on the Add Project button.

5. Click on the Save button to confirm the operation.
The Integrate with drop down allows you to connect this Project with a specific software
supporting such integration, such as Toon Boom Harmony 7.8 or 9.2. To use this feature, you
must configure Integrated Software. You can then come back to Project Maintenance afterwards.
As a next step, you may want to Configure your new Project.
47
Configuring Integrated Software
The software integration allows jobs and scenes that are created or imported in Toon Boom Manager
to be automatically created in another software. For the time being, Toon Boom Harmony 7.8 and
Toon Boom Harmony 9.2 are supported.
This process is divided into two steps:
• Step 1: Configuring the Integrated Software, on page 48
• Step 2: Configuring Manager, on page 49
Step 1: Configuring the Integrated Software
To configure the integrated software:
1. Find the location of the Toon Boom Harmony Control Center on the Harmony server.
For example:
• /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony_7.8/lnx86/bin
2. From there, run the following command line:
• Controlcenter -script -user usabatch -tcpPort 7890
With this, Harmony is listening on port 7890 for commands from Manager. You should configure
the Harmony server to initiate this service automatically.
48
Step 2: Configuring Manager
To configure Manager:
1. In the Menu toolbar, click on the Admin button.
1
2
2. In the Admin menu, select Maintain Integrated Software.
3. In the Admin – Integrated Software List, click on the Add button.

8
5. Enter the IP address where this software resides, such as the address of a Toon Boom Harmony
server.
6. Enter the Host port. It must be the same one that was used with the Harmony software in
Step 1: Configuring the Integrated Software. In this example, we have used port 7890.
7. Enter the Host Filesystem. This is the location of where you want the actual scenes to be
created by the integrated software. The USADATA directory used in the above example is a
common Harmony file system.
8. Click on the Save button and proceed to integrate this software with specific projects.

Adding Scenes
Importing Scenes
Importing scenes in Manager refers to the process of creating a group of scenes as listed in a *.csv file
(comma separated values). This file may have been exported from Toon Boom Storyboard Pro,or
have been created directly in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
Manager will create the scenes with the names that are listed in the file and will import other data,
such as Caption (as exported by Toon Boom Storyboard Pro) or Scene Duration.
Scenes imported in the above fashion can be automatically created in Toon Boom Harmony,
provided that you have configured the integrated software.
Note that other data such as QuickTime clips are not imported by this procedure and that linking
QuickTime clips with Manager scenes is another process altogether.
The *.csv file should look like this:
• The header of the first column must be ObjectId, but the column itself does not have to
contain anything.
• SceneName has to contain the name of the scenes.
• SceneFrames has to contain the duration of the scene in frames.
• Anything with the header Note will be imported as a note.
• Anything with the header Issue will be imported as an issue.
The importing user will have the opportunity to import or dismiss the content of any other columns
as notes, for which the column header will become the caption.
74

To import scenes:
1. From the Home page, select the project and the job to which you want to import scenes.

Key Concept: Active/Inactive
Deleting a Project
The concept of active versus inactive applies to projects, jobs, scenes and even to users.
By default everything is active. This means that you can view and edit the active entities.
Rendering an entity inactive is a way to hide it from view, without actually deleting the
data.
In the case of users, an active status means that they can go about their business according
to their privileges for a given project. Making a user inactive will suspend their right to
log into Manager. This is an interesting option if you are required to temporarily remove
a user that may have to return in the future.
85
Key Concept: Approval Status
Deleting a Project
Also known as the Current Stage Status, the Approval Status is a way to keep track of
how a scene is progressing through its current stage.
There are four Approval Status:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Pending (blue)
In Progress (yellow)
For Approval (red)
Approved (green)
Approval Status can be changed back and forth, however changing the actual stage of
a scene will reset the Approval Status back to Pending.
86
Key Concept: Comments
Deleting a Project
Comments are texts that can be added to any scenes. Many comments can be logged
per scenes and it is possible to assign the same comment to multiple scenes. Contrary to
an issue, a comment does NOT have to be resolved. However, a scene can be marked/
unmarked with a “comment icon” (with a notepad and pencil, as depicted below).
Typically, comments are used to pass on general information about the scene without
the implication that something has to be fixed.
A comment can be passed on a scene by anyone that has the “add notes/comments/
captions” right for a given project.
87
Key Concept: Conditions
Deleting a Project
A condition applies to a scene. Unlike scene stages, scene conditions are not typically
linear. They are used to express a particular state about a scene, notwithstanding its
current stage in the pipeline.
One important option about a condition within a project is whether it is an exception.
Those conditions set to be exceptions will override the colour of the scene, whereas
non-exception conditions will not affect the appearance of scenes.
Several conditions are preset at the global level however one can add as many new
different conditions as required. Conditions must then be configured for specific project.
On recent versions of Manager, one may set many conditions per scene. However, setting
a scene to the default condition Normal will remove any other conditions that may have
been set.
88
Key Concept: Issues
Deleting a Project
An issue is a situation that has to be resolved. It can either be an ongoing issue, in which
case it is said to be open, or it can be a resolved issue, in which case it is labeled as
closed.
Scenes can have many issues. The more specific issues are available within a project, the
easier it becomes to track issues by type, to recognize trends and identify areas of the
production that require more attention.
A scene may be tagged with an issue by anyone that has the “add notes/comments/
captions” right for a given project.
Issues should first exist at the global level prior to be added to a specific project.

A job is part of a project and contains a set of scenes. It shares the same workflow as

This unit of data structure usually represents what is known in TV as an episode or as a

It may itself be divided into Acts or Reels.

A project is the biggest data structure in Manager. It will usually be made up of several
jobs, which in turn will be divided in many scenes.
A project has its own pipeline and therefore is configured with its own set of stages,
conditions and issues.
Projects are added by an admin user.

A scene is the basic building block of the data structure in Manager. It makes up the bulk
of the data. Scenes are contained within a job.
A scene can be assigned to a user. It always has a current stage. It contains much
information, such as duration, notes, issues, conditions. It can contain links to Preview
clips.
92
Key Concept: Stages
Deleting a Project
Stages are the linear steps through which every scene must go. They are the foundation
of the Manager pipeline. The current stage of a scene will determine its colour and is
arguably the most important information Manager is tracking.
Several Global stages are preset however one can add as many new different stages as
required. Stages must then be configured for specific projects.
93
Key Concept: Stage Dates
Deleting a Project
Estimated Stages Dates allow you to plan when a group of scenes is supposed to go
through each stage in the pipeline.
While these can be entered per scene and per stage, it is more convenient to set the
planning for a whole episode. This can be done by using the Estimated Start Date box
from the Expanded Update area to change all the estimated dates for the all the stages
based on the Average duration of each stage (as set in the Stage Configuration of the
Project).
The Actual Stage Dates are useful to log discrepancies between the planning and reality.
The best representation of all this planning information is available by clicking the View
Estimated Stage Dates link in the scene page. It is a scrollable timeline with the current
stage in black, the “on time” stages in green, the stages “in danger of being late” in
yellow and the stages already late shown in red.
94
Key Concept: Weight
Deleting a Project
The concept of weight applies to stages. Within a given project, every stage is more
or less heavy. That is, this is the estimated time consumption factor for that stage to
completed. The weight only makes sense in relation to the weight of other stages.
For example, if one chooses to express the weight in minutes, the weight of the stages
Layout and Animation could then be set be 100 and 300, respectively. That would mean
that if there are no other stages, the Layout stage is believed to account for 25% of the
total time available for this scene, while Animation represents 75%.
The weight will be used to express how far along any given part of a project is. For
example, a project may have most of its stages completed, but still be less than 50%
done, if the completed stages were “light” ones.
