# Set up general recipe properties (General tab)

In the General tab, give the recipe file a unique run-time name and specify a status tag and a percent complete tag.

## Options

- Runtime recipe name

  Type a unique, user-friendly name for the recipe file. This is the name the recipe selector will use at run time. (This string does not allow run-time language switching.)

- Status tag

  Click the Browse button to open the Tag Browser and specify a tag to be used as the status tag. Alternatively, you can type in a tag string if you are sure of the tag name and address.

- Percent complete tag

  Click the Browse button to open the Tag Browser and specify a tag to be used as the percent complete tag. Alternatively, you can type in a tag string if you are sure of the tag name and address.

## Status tag

The status tag shows the results of recipe download and upload operations:
