Tagging

Level: System Administrator

Overview


Tagging is an labeling system for entities in Serraview and we recommend that you use these for internal reporting. Tags are used to categorize items in several different ways. For example, you may put a tag on a team to remind you that a First Aid Officer needs to be assigned from that team.

Throughout Serraview you will see references to tags in forms and the benefit of tags is they are easily created, removed and adjusted as required.

The main ways in which you can visualize and assign tags:

  • Individual entity  - for example, manually update tags on a Floor form.
  • List -  for example, bulk changing tags for multiple items such as in Service Requests.

Also, tags can be imported via the Workpoint Import and the Person Import.

Ways to Use Tags


There are many applications for tags and the way you use them may depend on their visibility. Every tag needs to be attached to a single tag 'Set'. The set determines the tag's visibility and tags from some sets are only visible in Workplace, or only in VBS.

The following table provides suggestions on how you can use tags and where they are visible within the Serraview modules.
