-====== 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 [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:select_active_file|select_active_file]] command. and tags can be used in a [[visual3d:tutorials:reports:creating_a_report|report template]] to display only data associated with that tag.

+Tags can be created in Visual3D via the Workspace Tab, through the Add/Modify File Tags menu item, or by executing a pipeline.
-using the workspace tab to create tags is a great way to create tags manually when you are interactively working with a file.
+==== Workspace Tab ====
-|**1.** in the workspace tab, click "add new file tag"  |  addnewfiletag.png|
-|**2.** in the popup dialog, enter the new file tag name\\ \\ **3.** click "continue"  |  enternewfiletagname.png  |

+|**1.** In the Workspace tab, click "Add New File Tag"  |  {{:AddNewFileTag.png}}|
-|**4.** check files that should be associated with file tag  |  filetagcheckboxes.png  |
+|**2.** In the popup dialog, enter the new file tag name\\ \\ **3.** Click "Continue"  |  {{:EnterNewFileTagName.png}}  |
-===== file -> add/modify file tags =====
+|**4.** Check files that should be associated with file tag  |  {{:FileTagCheckBoxes.png}}  |
-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.
+==== File -> Add/Modify File Tags ====
-|**1.** go to file -> add/modify file tags  |  fileassigntagtofiles.png  |
-|**2.** specify the file tag name\\ \\ **3.** click "create new tag"  |  filecreatenewtagname.png  |

-you can [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:assign_tags_to_file|assign tags to files]] using the pipeline, as well as [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:combine_tags|combine]] and [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:remove_tags|remove]] tags.
+==== Pipeline ====
-using the pipeline to create tags will be the most useful when automating your processing.
-====== removing tags ======

+Using the Pipeline to create tags will be the most useful when automating your processing.
+===== Removing Tags =====
+You can use the [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:File_Commands:Remove_Tags|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.
