Applying Tag Group Filters

Choosing filter criteria

These are the criteria available for tag filters. You can use a combination of criteria in a single filter

Filter option Description

Tag

Search for and select a specific tag to add it individually.

Attribute type

Select an attribute type. Tags that are of this attribute type will be included.

Object

Search for and specify an object such as a group or area to include any tags that belong to the group or area.

Object type

Select an object type. Tags will be included if their parent object is of this object type or any of its sub-types.

Tag name

Enter a tag name, All tags with this tag name will be included. You can use wildcards in this field as follows:
  • % represents zero or more characters
  • _ represents a single character

Regenerate the tag group after changing the filters

The Generate Tag Group tool runs automatically after you have saved your changes. However, you may need to run it if new items have been added to areas or groups.

This will update the tag group contents based on the filters.

Using multiple filters

You can add as many filters as you like to the set of filters. The collection of tags defined by each filter will be added to the tag group.

Ordering filters

The Filters tab provides tools to specify the order in which filters are applied. The order in which filters are applied controls the order in which tags are displayed on the Tags tab and in any other lists and menus. If a tag is selected by more than one filter, it will appear on the list for the first filter that selected it.

To change the order in which filters are applied, use the Up and Down controls on the Filters tab.

Note

Changing the filter order does not affect the content of the tag group, just the sort and display order of the tags.
