I’ve unticked Status as I don’t need to see this data until after the first draft has been written. Tick the columns that you want to include, and untick those you want to hide. If you right-click within the header of the outliner pane, this drop-down menu appears. I can also record the POV within the Outliner view, but first need to make the POV column visible. In this scene, it’s the narrator – someone not presents but viewing the proceedings and relating them to the reader. POV is then revealed as a Custom Meta-Data item, with space to type in who has the POV for this scene.
To record the POV for a single document from within that document, click on the ‘tag’ icon at the top of the Inspector pane. The default colour is red if you click on the block of red, you can choose whatever colour you like. My POV is a single word, so I haven’t selected Wrap Text but I opted for coloured text. To set this up, I selected Project / Meta-Data Settings and used the + sign to add a new category. In an example provided by Literature & Latte, each document is a recipe, and the custom metadata relates to the source of the recipe, who recommended it, the calories per serving, etc.įor me, each document represents a single scene and, in my LOL Left Over Lovers novel, I’ve decided to use the custom metadata feature to record my POV character.
Custom metadataĬustom data provides a flexible tool to record whatever you want to record about a particular document. There are two options: custom metadata (this blog post) and keywords ( next blog post).
#Scrivener 3 custom metadata list links plus
As well as this, I want to keep track of who has the POV (point of view) in each scene, plus who is present in each scene – and to access this data easily onscreen. I’ve used Label for Location and am keeping Status for the progress of any scene. But if you need more, you’ll need to set up custom metadata. The Label and Status options within the Inspector are valuable for metadata.
