Place the Header on Script Pages

Headers and footers can contain any of the fields or controls you can add to script pages.

Unlike the content you add to other areas of a page, which displays only on that page, the content you add to the header and footer is shown on every page where the header and footer displays. For example, if you want to display contact information at the top of every page of the script, you could add the first name, last name, and phone numbers contact fields to the script header, and then display the header on all pages of the script.

By default, the header that is shown on the initial script page contains the progress label control, which shows staff members what page of the script they are on. The default footer contains the navigation panel control, which adds buttons staff members can use to move between script pages. See Navigation Panel Control Buttons.

The following procedure describes how to place the header on script pages. You use a similar procedure when placing the footer on script pages.

1. From your open script, click the Page tab.
2. To show the header only on the selected page, click Header and select Show Header On This Page.
   The header is added to the page on the design space.
3. To show the header on all pages in the script, click Header and select Show Header On All Pages.
4. To remove the header, click Header and select Don’t Show Header On Any Pages.
   The header is removed from all pages in your script, along with any fields or controls you added to the header.
5. To add content to the header or footer, click the Insert Field or Insert Control tab and drag the items you want to the design space.
