▪ In the TYPES page, click the name of a tag to select it and display its Sub-Types in the
next column to the right. In each column only one tag can be selected. The selected tag is
highlighted:
Assigning Tags
► Click the empty check box right of the desired tag name to assign this tag to the selected
files.
→ A check mark appears in the check box.
Additionally, when you check a tag on the TYPES page:
▪ If another column is available on the right the tag you check is automatically selected and
its Sub-Types appear in the next column (if any), allowing you to directly refine your de-
scription by checking the desired Sub-Types in this next column.
▪ If you check a Sub-Type tag whose parent tag was not checked in the previous column on
the left, this parent tag will be automatically checked as well.
Be as precise as possible when tagging your files in order to be able to find what you are looking for
later.
Unassigning Tags
► Click the check mark right of the desired tag to unassign this tag from the selected files.
→ The check mark disappears.
In the TYPES page, if you uncheck a tag for which some Sub-Type tags were selected in the col-
umns on the right, these will automatically unassigned as you unassign their parent tag.
Creating New Tags
You can also create your own tags both in the TYPES and MODES pages:
