# Create Calc Tag Window

After a script has been successfully constructed and tested to the user’s satisfaction, it can be saved as a new calculated tag. These tags function just like regular tags throughout PARCview. Click the **Create/Save Calc Tag** on the Home ribbon of the Script Editor to make a new calc tag.
