Tags for items and locations

Difference between item tags and model tags

A tag can be added either:

• For an individual item – the tag is only shown for that item
  • Use item tags when you need to identify a specific item
  • Example: Active speaker, white → Training use, Spare item
• For an item model – the tag is shown for all items of that model
  • Use model tags when you want to describe the entire model
  • Example: Laptop computer → laptop

Adding or editing tags

1. Open the item card where you want to add a tag
2. Model-specific tags can also be added and edited directly on the model card
3. Click Edit
4. Find the Tags field
5. Select whether you want to add the tag:
   • to the item
   • to the model (shown for all items of the same model)
6. Enter the tag
   • You can add multiple tags by separating them with a comma ( , ) or semicolon ( ; )

7. Click Save
8. The tags are now shown on the item card

Searching for items using tags

You can use tags to search for items in the item list:

1. Open Items → All items
2. Enter the tag in the search field (free-text search)
3. The search shows items with the matching item tag or model tag

Location-specific tags

Tags can also be added to locations. This is useful when a location has an alternative name or a commonly used nickname.

To add a location-specific tag:

1. Open Admin → Locations
2. Open the location you want to edit
3. Add the tag in the Tags field
4. Save the changes

Note: Location-specific tags affect searches in the location list view. They are not used when searching for items.
