Add a Tag
Tags allow grouping and marking documents and facilitate their search when the user is in the document management hierarchy.
Once you have opened a file from the "All Files" menu, on the "Document" page, you will see that this file has a tag.
If the tag does not exist, you can create it directly on the document in the "Tag" field by clicking on the field and then on "+Create".
It is also possible to create a tag from the "Tags" menu (Access: Documents → Configuration → Tags).
In the tag creation window, enter the code, name, and style of the tag.
