Tags are keywords or labels that you assign to documents in the archive. They let you categorise documents independently of where they are stored and find them again faster — with tags such as “Invoice”, “Contract” or “Urgent”, for example.

You reach the tags through the menu navigation under Archive > Tags.

Permission required

To access this function you need the following permission:

  • Show tags (AdminUI_ArchiveStorage_ListTags)

Permissions are granted through groups — see permissions – overview.

The overview shows every existing tag with its name, description, colour and the number of documents assigned to it. The Search button in the commands column shows every document carrying a particular tag in the document search.
