Creating a rundown in Fabl takes just a few minutes. Once you’ve set up the basics — show name, type, date, and target duration — you can start adding segments and inviting your team. Every rundown you create becomes a living document that your whole crew can view and edit in real time.Documentation Index

Segment Types
Fabl includes the following built-in segment types to help you categorize and color-code your rundown at a glance:| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Intro | Opening sequences, cold opens, and title cards |
| Segment | Main content blocks — interviews, features, demos |
| Break | Unscripted or buffer time between content blocks |
| Outro | Closing remarks, credits, sign-offs |
| Ad | Paid advertising slots or sponsor reads |
| Custom | Any segment that doesn’t fit the standard categories |
You can rename Custom segments to match your production’s terminology. The label you enter appears in the rundown and all exports.
Save and share
Fabl saves your rundown automatically as you work — there’s no manual save required. To share it with your team, click the Share button in the top-right corner of the rundown, enter your collaborators’ email addresses or select them from your workspace roster, and set their permission level (Viewer or Editor). Your team will receive an invitation and can access the rundown immediately.
