Movie Magic Screenwriter

Tagging an item globally tells Screenwriter to tag every occurrence of an item in the script, instead of manually tagging it each time you find it yourself.  This saves you time, and the possibility of missing an occurrence of an item.  To tag an item globally:

Select the item by double-clicking on it.

Or, under the Production menu, select Breakdown then Tag Item Globally...

The Tag Item Globally menu displays.  If you selected an item, it displays in the Item To be Tagged: field.  If you didn't select an item, type the name of the item in the field here.

In the Tag Item as... section, select the radio button of the Category to which to assign the item.

If you want to be prompted each time Screenwriter finds the item, check the Prompt on each Tagging box.  Although you can tag an item more than once in a scene (as Global Tagging does), it's not necessary—an item only shows up once per scene in the breakdowns or in Movie Magic Scheduling or EP Scheduling.

Click OK to tag the item globally, Cancel to exit without tagging.
