Using Tags

Tags help you organize work, track progress, and establish workflows across your collection.

A Tag can be applied to multiple Entries, and an Entry can have multiple Tags. Tags are managed separately from the rest of an Entry's data and can be found in the upper-right corner of an Entry.

 

Tip: Think of Tags as searchable and trackable digital "Post-It notes" that can be attached to your Entries.

 

 

Common Uses for Tags

Tracking Entry Status

Use Tags to indicate the status of an Entry, such as:

  • Incomplete
  • In Review
  • Add Photos
  • Missing Dimensions
  • Needs Related Publications

Managing Workflows

Use Tags to assign work to team members or departments, such as:

  • Archives Team
  • Collections Team
  • Registrars Team
