Final Draft Tagger is a separate application included and installed with Final Draft that enables you to break down a Final Draft script into its various elements (components) and then export the results into various movie scheduling and breakdown programs. Tagger should be thought of as an interface between a Final Draft script and production breakdown and scheduling programs.

Tagger allows you to select text from the electronic script and add any element with a click of the mouse in any category for that scene – or for any or all scenes where that element appears. The element text is highlighted and color coded, and can be customized to suit the way you like to work.

In addition:

Elements from the script may be added to a category within a scene or many scenes at once.
An element which is not in the text of the script may be added to a category within a scene or many scenes at once.
Categories are completely editable and customizable.
Categories may use different text styles (the highlighted element within the script may be color-coded by category and/or bolded, underlined, italicized, etc.)
Cast members with speaking and non-speaking roles in a scene may be detected automatically.
Elements may be linked. For example, if a character always requires a certain costume or a particular prop, you may link the costume or prop to the character. Then whenever the character appears in a scene, theirs costume or prop will also be noted automatically.
There are provisions for revised scripts. If a script has been tagged and the script revised in Final Draft, the revised script can be loaded and tagged.
Reports can be generated.
