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. tags.png\\ ====== 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. ====== 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. |**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 | |**4.** check files that should be associated with file tag | filetagcheckboxes.png | ===== 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. |**1.** go to file -> add/modify file tags | fileassigntagtofiles.png | |**2.** specify the file tag name\\ \\ **3.** click "create new tag" | filecreatenewtagname.png | |**4.** specify the files that should be associated with file tag\\ \\ **5.** click "ok" | fileassociatefileswithtag.png | ===== pipeline ===== 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. 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. }}}}}}}}}}}}
