HOW DO I USE
K
EYWORDS?
Keywords are terms you choose that describe one or more source
files in a collection. They may describe the literal content of a file
(such as objects in a photo, or events in a video clip) or its subjective
aspects (for example, adjectives like beautiful or intense).
Unlike information in text data fields, keywords do not have to
conform to a category that applies to every file in a collection. You
simply add them to a master list for the collection, then attach them
to an individual record or multiple records as you see fit.
Keywords are powerful search tools. If you add keywords
extensively across a collection, you'll be able to pull up almost
unlimited combinations of records instantly based on keyword
searches (for example, 18th-century paintings with a dark red
background).
USING KEYWORD FAMILIES
With ImageAXS Pro, you can organize keywords into hierarchies (or
families), so that one keyword may contain several related keywords.
For example, the keyword “United States” might have child
keywords for each of the 50 states; attaching a keyword for one of the
states (such as “California”) to a data record would attach the
“United States” keyword as well.
