Custom tags in Curate!
Feb 20, 2023
New in Curate, custom tags!
We're excited to be able to announce an exciting new feature for Curate: custom tags.
Custom tags offer an entirely new way to organise, sort, search and understand your files. Along with the capability to add simple ISAD(G) or Dublin Core-based descriptive metadata templates to your objects, you can now add your own completely custom values in the form of colourful tags. Tags allow you to break down barriers between your separate files and build a better understanding of the content in your collections.
Adding tags to an object enables several new powerful organisational functions for you to explore when interacting with your collections:
Information at a glance
- Your tags appear front and centre of the file-display, intuitively telling you about the content you're viewing at a quick glance.
Enhanced search and filtering
- Search all of your files for objects with a certain tag attached
- Associate objects in any location by giving them the same tag
- Group and associate objects in as many ways as you like, as many times as you like on every file
- Combine tags to create advanced multi-level filters and return highly specific files buried in various locations in your collections
To get started with custom tagging in Curate, select one or many of your files or folders and look for the "Custom tags" field in the metadata panel, then get tagging! Curate will assign a special colour to each of your tags and remember them for next time.
Give it a shot and let us know what other great features you'd like to see in future Curate updates to empower your workflow!
