If you want to create a shareable link of the talent you've selected after the initial submission review, the Share Selects Link is the perfect tool.

How to Create a Share Selects Link

  1. While reviewing submissions, mark the talent you like with a selection tag (1-6, CB). These are internal tags that only your casting office can see.

    Row of seven circular buttons, numbered 1 through 6, and a final button labeled "CB". The button with the number 1 is highlighted in orange, while the others are light blue outlines with blue numbers/letters.
  2. Once you've assigned a selection tag (a number under the profile headshot), the profile will automatically move into the Selects folder.
  3. Navigate to the Selects folder.

  4. At the bottom-right of your screen, click the Share Selects button to create the link.

The screen displays a "Selected (2)" tab active and shows two headshots with corresponding candidate profiles side-by-side for **April Burnett** and **Jane Park Smith**. Each profile shows: * A headshot. * Basic stats like height, weight, union status (PNCNI, SAG-AFTRA Member), and location (Mexico City). * A row of circular numbered buttons (1-6) and a "CB" button, with button **2** highlighted in orange on the first profile and button **5** highlighted in orange on the second. * Contact information (phone and email for their representative). * A navigation bar at the top allows viewing submissions for "Winning Runner" and has a button to "Find Additional Talent". * In the bottom right, a prominent blue button labeled **"Share Selects"** is highlighted by a large red arrow pointing to it. * Below the profiles, pagination controls are visible: "100 per page" and "Page 1 of 1" with navigation arrows.

  5. A prompt will appear where you can:

    • Select which talent to include based on their Role and selection tag number.
    • Set a date for the link to expire on.

  6. Select Create Link.

  7. A new window will pop up showing the link you've created, along with a handy Copy URL to Clipboard button.

    A pop-up modal titled "Share Selects". The text inside states, "Selected talent are now available at the following link" followed by the date "10/17/2025" and a full URL: https://app.castingnetworks.com/casting/share-selects/2ef7d7b2-aaee-11f0-8e1f-4171980b4dee. At the bottom of the modal, there are two buttons: a simple "Close" link and a prominent blue button labeled "Copy URL to Clipboard".
    • Note: The clipboard is short-term storage on your computer, not a section of our website.
  8. Once the URL has been copied to your clipboard, you can then paste the link into a web browser, an email, or a message to somebody else:
    • Right-click and select Paste.
    • Other ways to paste the link:
      • You can also hold Ctrl and press V (Command + V on a Mac) to paste.
      • On iPhone, tap the area where you want to put the link, then tap Paste.
      • On Android, touch & hold where you want to paste, then tap Paste.

After talent have been submitted, selected, and added to the worksheet, you can share them by clicking the Share Talent button at the top of the worksheet. This link is useful for creating a custom presentation of talent based on roles, selection tags, and status.

  • Project: This is the name of the project you're working on.
  • Presentation: This comes from the Name field you entered when you created the link.
  • Folders: This is where they’ll find the talent, sorted by role.

When they go into the folders, they’ll be able to see all the talent in that role and view their Casting Networks profiles.
