The file tagging mechanism allows you to define specific subsets of your C3D files, to facilitate processing these as a group. Tags can be made Active in the same fashion that individual files can be made active. Tags are a general way to set files as active since filenames are usually unique across workspaces because they are associated with the full pathname. A tag can be any string of characters, for example "PRE" or "POST", "Subject1" or "Subject2", "Walk" or "Run", etc.
Files and tags have a many-to-many relationship: a file can have multiple tags associated with it and a tag can have multiple files associated with it.
Using Tags
Setting a Tag as the Active File ensures that all files associated with that tag will be processed. Tags can be used in a pipeline using the Select_Active_File command. And tags can be used in a Report Template to display only data associated with that tag.
Creating Tags
Tags can be created in Visual3D via the Workspace Tab, through the Add/Modify File Tags menu item, or by executing a pipeline.
Workspace Tab
- Using the workspace tab to create tags is a great way to create tags manually when you are interactively working with a file.

File -> Add/Modify File Tags
- The benefit of going to File -> Add/Modify File Tags is that the dialog will allow you to select multiple files at once by clicking and dragging - instead of individually checking the check boxes as you do in the Workspace tab.

Pipeline
- You can assign tags to files using the pipeline, as well as combine and remove tags.
- Using the Pipeline to create tags will be the most useful when automating your processing.
Removing Tags
You can use the Remove_Tags pipeline command.
OR
Uncheck all files associated with a tag in the Workspace tab. Once a tag has no files associated with it, it will be deleted.
