KBP019 - Using tagging to identify and track Client Files/Boxes/Paper.

To be able to track documents and client files within Papercloud, tagging can allow for granular maintenance and structuring of your site. Tagging can be applied to Client Files, Boxes, and Paperwork itself.


1. Activation and configuration

By default, tagging is not enabled. To enable it, open 'System Settings' and select the 'Tagging' tab.

Type the name of the tag you wish to make, then click the '+' or press enter.

Once done editing your tags, press 'Save' to leave.

'Prefix Tags' are an alternate tag that allows you to input variable data after a set prefix.

Here, you can either apply your globally set tags or apply a one-time tag to the client file by just clicking on the tag.

When a tag is added to a client file, the number displayed next to the 'Tagging' option will reflect the amount of tags on the file.

3. Searching for tags

To search for all instances of a tag being used, head to 'Metadata Search'. On the third tab is 'Tag Search' where tagged items can be parsed.

You can head to Metadata Search either from the left hand menu items or from within a client file. If done from a client file, metadata search will automatically filter down and open to the client file you came from.
