8.8 Tag Definitions

The Tag Definitions tab allows the creation and removal of Tags, their automatic comment, and name. Tags are an informative note which can be attached to any data item in the search messages interface. There is no limit to how many tags any one item may have applied to it, and there is no limit to how many tags a user may create. In addition, tags are also a searchable item, making this one of the most versatile ways to add long-term identification for items in the data store.

Before the tag icon will appear on the in the search interface tool bar, there must be at least one tag defined. To define a tag, enter the tag name and initial comment if desired, then, if the user has permissions to do so, define whether the tag is personal or global. Once saved the tag is available for use.

Global tags are tags that any user with the rights to see global tags will be able to view and apply. Personal tags are limited to the user who created them. Only tags visible to users will be available to be searched for by that user.

Any tags created or subject to manipulation by the user logged-in will be displayed under this tab.

To apply a tag to a message or data item in the search messages interface, simply select the data item or items, and then click the ‘Add / Remove’ tag button in the tool bar.
