How Do I Create Note Categories?

Notes in Arc Studio can be categorized in the notes list:

• Default Note Categories
• Custom Note Categories
• Creating Custom Note Categories
• Adding Notes to Custom Categories
• Filtering Note Categories

Default Note Categories

Notes created for your script elements (Storyline, Character, Location), as well as notes created for your Beats will automatically be organized in those default categories in your notes list. Notes created via the + will be under the Note category.

Custom Note Categories
