What is a Text Column?
Text Columns in Cuez offer a way to add all sorts of text-based notes to Parts, Items or Blocks. These can be director's notes, graphics notes, audio notes, general notes or remarks, and more.
How can I manage the Text Columns in my Project?
If you have the Admin role within your Project, you will see the option to 'Add new Column', allowing you to manage the existing Columns as well as to create your own custom ones. This can also be done via the Column management from the menu on the top left of your Episode, both options bring you to the same menu.
From this menu you open the Column manager where you will see both your 'Active' and 'Archived' Columns. The 'Active' tab shows you all Columns currently available in your Episode(s). For each of these Columns you can click the three vertical dots under 'Actions' at the back of the Column, giving you the option to Edit, Archive or Delete the Column.
How can I create and configure a new Text Column?
Creating a new Column to use in your Episode(s) is easy. Select 'Add a new column' in the top right of the Column manager window and and select the 'Text area' option.
Once everything is configured with the options mentioned below, you can confirm with the blue button - the Column is then available for all users in the Project.
