Creating Tagging Exports: Breakdown Summary, Element Report, & Category Report

You can export tag and breakdown reports as PDF documents or fully manipulatable CSV documents.

📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

Generating Reports

In Scriptation 6.0, there are two ways to open a Tagging Reports menu. They look a little different but lead to the same Save flow.

From the main document view (6.0+)

Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top-right of the screen;
Under Share Data, select Tagging Reports.

The new Tagging Reports popover appears. At the top is a PDF / CSV toggle; below it, the three report types — Breakdown Summary, Element Report, and Category Report — each with a short description.

Choose PDF or CSV at the top, then tap the report type you want.

📝 NOTE: The 6.0 menu only contains the three tag reports. App-specific exports (Cinapse, SetHero, Shamel Studio, Shot Lister, Think Crew) and MovieLabs OMC-JSON now live under their own item: ⋯ → App Integrations. They're still available from the legacy popover too (see below).

From Tagging Mode

Tap Reports on the Tagging Toolbar.

This opens the legacy Reports popover, which lists all three report types with PDF/CSV options inline, plus App Exports (Cinapse, SetHero, Shamel Studio, Shot Lister, Think Crew) and MovieLabs (OMC-JSON).

Tap the report type and format you want to generate.

Naming and Saving Your Report

Once you've chosen a report type and format from either popover, the Save flow is the same:

Enter a name for the report and tap Save;

📝 NOTE: The default name appends the report title to the end of the original file name.

Choose where to save the Report. PDF Reports can be saved locally in Scriptation or to any Cloud Folder; CSV Reports can be saved anywhere using the native Share menu;
The Report opens in Scriptation, and you can share it with your team.

Breakdown Reports

Quickly see every tagged element in a scene-by-scene breakdown. See below for a description of the Special Categories highlighted in this screenshot:

Special Categories

Three special categories appear in particular places in Breakdown Reports:

Scene Description — a summary of what takes place in the scene for easy reference;
Story Day — sometimes called a Continuity Day, this refers to the day within the timeline of the story that the scene takes place;
Scene Notes — overall notes that may apply to the whole scene and not necessarily a particular category.

Element Reports

Generates a report that lists every tag organized by category.

Category Reports

A Category Report is the same as an Element Report, except you can choose which tagged elements you want included in the report.
