Please note, only admins with the appropriate permissions can create Tag Sets. Tag Sets may not be available with all plans. Please contact support@imagerelay.com with questions.. 

Tag Sets allow you to create a controlled vocabulary in your Image Relay Library. Controlled vocabularies are a standardized and organized set of words that provide a consistent way to describe your assets and improve your metadata. When you use a controlled vocabulary, it becomes much easier to search and bring back accurate results. 

Tag Sets are arranged by broader topics (the Set Name), and the words in that set are used to Tag your files. So if your Tag Set was called "Animals," you could then enter cat, dog, mouse, elephant and moose as tags. If your Keyword Set was "Locations", you could enter New York, Chicago, Boston and Dallas as options. 

Creating a Tag Set: 

1. Click the Admin drop down menu in the upper navigation bar.

2. Click Metadata Tools.

3. Click Create New on the upper right hand side of the table.

4. Name the keyword set. This name will not show up as a Tag but is used to identify the Set. 

5. Type out the Tag you like to use. 

6. Click Add Tag after each one to add that keyword/tag to the set.

7. Click Save.

Adding Tags to Assets: 

Each of the Tags that you create can be used to Tag an asset. When you Tag an asset, a hyperlink is created that associates all assets with the same Tag across the system. When you click on the hyperlink, anything with that Tag will pop up. You can Tag items individually or in bulk.
