Smart cells

Smart cells allow you to reference WYSIWYG variables in reports and worksheets to ensure that the same type of information is displayed in each report and worksheet. These variables are found in the report headings and in various title blocks in PRES mode.

Additionally, you can replace these variables in your Layout text by typing them directly. To do so, you must surround the variable with per cent symbols (%) when altering the text item’s properties. For example, to add the Chief Lighting Designer variable, you would type %Chief Lighting Designer%.

All variables shown in the Production Team Information Wizard and Production Team Info tab of the Options > Document Options window are available as smart cells. For more information on changing these variables, see Production Team Info Wizard.

The following variables are accessible from a Smart Cell drop-down list (or by typing them in Text items in Layouts):

Scene variables in layouts

The following rules apply when you use the “%Scene%” variable with the Text item you are inserting in Layouts.

When ALL Scene-dependent items on the Layout are set to the same Scene, Text items on that Layout which contain the “%Scene%” variable will display the name of that Scene.
When Scene-dependent items on the Layout are set to different Scenes, or when some items are set to one or more specific Scenes, and some items are set to Follow Current Scene, Text items on that Layout which contains the “%Scene%” variable will display the word “Multiple”.
When ALL Scene-dependent items on the Layout are set to Follow Current Scene, Text items on that Layout which contains the “%Scene%” variable will display the name of the current Scene.
