Tags

Free-form labels that cut across categories, and how to use them without creating a mess.

1 min read

An item has exactly one category but any number of tags. Categories answer what kind of thing is this; tags answer everything else.

Adding and removing tags

  1. 1Open the item for editing and find the Tags field.
  2. 2Type a tag and press Enter. Repeat for as many as you need.
  3. 3Press the × on a tag to remove it, or Clear tags to remove them all.

Filtering by tag

The advanced filter panel in the library has a Tags section. Pick one or more and the library narrows to the items carrying them.

Tags that earn their keep

  • Status: on-loan, for-sale, needs-repair, sold
  • Paperwork: insured, no-receipt, warranty-2027, appraised
  • Where it came from: inherited, gift, auction
  • Projects: office-move, exhibition-2027

Tip

Pick one spelling and stay with it. on-loan, On Loan and onloan are three different tags, and three tags mean three incomplete filters.
