Tag your files

Suggest Edits

Overview

You can tag your files with keywords or strings on CAVATICA to make it easier to identify and organize files you’ve imported from public datasets. The tags will help you visually keep track of files as you import them into your project from the Public Reference Files repository or upload them to CAVATICA.

You can also tag files you copy between projects. These tags allow you to sort and filter files within a project and on the DRAFT task page.
