When creating a daily, weekly or even monthly show, you hardly ever start from a blank page. With TinkerList, you can create a template script that is copied each time you add a new script in the Calendar.
Script templates can be managed, edited or deleted by Admin users only.
How to create a script template?
You will need the help of the TinkerList team to turn a script into a script template in the Calendar.
Please follow the following guidelines:
Add a new script on the sidebar named 'Template'
You can add the main structure, add some empty default cards or with predefined text inside. You can even add timings and notes, everything will be copied.
Finished? Contact the TinkerList team via Intercom to convert your newly created script into a template.
Once this is done, the support team will give you a heads up. Your template will have disappeared from the side-bar and is now turned into a Script segment in the Calendar.
You can create more than 1 template, in theory there is no limit. Every template will result into a separate script segment in your Calendar.
Whenever you hit the plus-sign inside a Script cell in the Calendar, a copy is made from the template and all users can start filling it with content.
