Header & Footer Settings
Header and Footer settings in Scripto are script-level, meaning they apply to the script itself, not just your personal workspace.
When you enable Title, Page Number, or select Custom in a script, those selections are saved for that script, and anyone with access will see the same settings.
If you enter custom text, like a header saying “This is the best script ever!” — it will appear for everyone working on that script.
(It may very well be true — just make sure it's intentional. 😉)
WYSIWYG:
Headers and footers appear directly in the editor — no need to print or export to preview them.
Settings:
Open Headers and footers any time from the … menu in the upper right corner of the script editor.
This interface will let you customize what appears in the header and footer of the scripts.
Global Options:
Include header - Uncheck to hide the header or footer entirely.
Show header on first page - Check to display the header or footer on every page, including the first page.
(Standard screenplay formatting excludes headers and footers on the first page.)
Horizontal rule: Adds a line between the header/footer and the body of the script.
Header & Footer Positions
Headers and footers have three positions - left, center, and right – where you can insert a value. You can also leave a position blank.
The values Scripto currently supports are:
Date and time – Displays the date and time that the script was printed or exported.
Page number – Displays the current page number, starting at 1 and incremented by 1.
Page number/total – Displays the current page out of total pages (e.g., Page 3/10).
Script duration – Displays the total runtime (e.g., 17:24).
Available for Variety scripts only. This field will remain blank in screenplay format.
Title – Displays the script’s title.
Title and section info – Displays the script title plus Act (Screenplays) or Act and Slug (Variety) details.
Note: Long titles may wrap in the editor view. In print or export, the second line is reserved for section information.
Custom text – Selecting this option reveals a text field where you can enter custom header or footer content.
