Tag Manager

What are Tags?

TagTags are an additional metadatum that can be assigned as a label to any element of a HyperImage project (objects, views, inscriptions, layers, texts, URLs, light tables, and groups). You can assign multiple tags to an element, thereby placing it simultaneously in different categories.

Manage Tag List

The Tag Manager allows you to manage all the tags in your project. You can access it via the menu “Tools” as well as via  Ersatzbild für Command3 (CTRL+3).

The Tag Manager provides you with an overview of all current tags in a project and their translations in other project languages, where applicable. Here you can define new tags, translate existing tags and delete tags from a project.

The Tag List displays all the tags defined in a project. Tag names are displayed in the project’s default language.

Adding a Project Tag

AddClick on the plus sign to add a new tag to the project. The Tag Name Editor opens automatically, allowing you to assign your own name to the new tag, in various translations if applicable.

Deleting a Project Tag

RemoveSelect the tag with the left mouse button. Click on the minus sign to delete the tag from the project and to remove it from all elements, to which it had been assigned.

Edit Tag Name

Edit Tag Name
EditSelect the tag with the left mouse button. Clicking on the edit symbol opens the edit dialog, which allows you to edit the tag name in all available project languages. More information on project languages can be found in chapter two, “Project Languages”.
