What are the requirements for integration?

Before you get started, please keep the following details in mind to ensure a successful setup:

  • You must have an active Casting Networks Casting Account.

  • It is vital that you use the exact same email address for both your Cast It Systems and Casting Networks accounts.

  • The project and its roles must be built on Casting Networks before you use Fast Capture.

  • The project does not need to be active, and roles can be set to internal.

  • You only need to build the specific roles that you intend to use with Fast Capture for uploading.

How do I set up the integration preferences?

Setting up the integration is a quick process handled within the application settings. Follow these steps to configure your talent search and uploading destinations:

  1. Login to Fast Capture.

How do I log in and connect my accounts?

Once the preferences are set, you will need to sign into both accounts within the application to link them.

  1. Select Create a new FastCapture file.

  2. Login using your Casting Networks credentials.

  3. Login using your Cast It Systems credentials.

Password Note

  • Please be aware that your Cast It Systems and Casting Networks passwords may be different. Casting Networks requires a special character, while Cast It Systems does not allow them.

FAQ’s

Do I need to make my project public on Casting Networks to use Fast Capture?

No, the project does not have to be active. You can keep your roles internal while still using them for integration purposes.

Why are my login credentials not working for both?

Double-check that you are using the same email address for both accounts. Also, remember that password requirements differ between the two systems, so your passwords may not be identical.
