Tags provide descriptive metadata about assets. By creating tags based on relevant keywords that accurately define and describe assets, you enable filters and searches to retrieve the best results. To ensure consistency and accuracy, it's a good practice to double-check all asset metadata against an expected outcome.
A tag cloud facilitates grouping of related tags. A single tag can belong to multiple clouds. Administrators can make one or more tag clouds available to each D.A.C.
As described in the following section, you can create tags dynamically when uploading assets, or predefine tags to apply to assets at anytime.
You can create tags in the following ways:
When uploading an asset, you can enter a new, or select an existing tag. If you enter a new tag, the add-on automatically adds it to the asset and stores the new tag for later use. The add-on stores these tags in the tag clouds associated with this field through the D.A.C.
If you have access to EBX® administrative features, you can navigate to Administration > User interface > TIBCO EBX® Digital Asset Manager Add-on > Classification and use the Tag and Tag cloud tables for creation. These tags will be available to users when uploading or editing an asset.
In addition to applying tags when uploading an asset, you can add tags when:
Editing an asset:
When viewing an asset, click the Edit icon to display the Edit digital asset screen.
From the Information tab, you can add, or remove tags. Just be sure to save your changes and refresh the asset when finished.
Managing assets as an administrator. While under Administration > User interface > TIBCO EBX® Digital Asset Manager Add-on, open the Actions menu and select Manage digital assets. Select the desired asset and click the Edit icon to add, or remove tags.
If you have administrative privileges, you can create tag clouds and manage which tags are included in each cloud. The following steps describe the process:
In the TIBCO EBX® Digital Asset Manager Add-on administration area, navigate to Classification > Tag cloud.
Click the '+' icon to create a new tag cloud and provide a label and description.
After saving, you can add tags to this cloud by creating new, or using the Actions menu to associate existing tags with this cloud.
You can open any tag cloud and use its Actions menu to:
Associate existing tags with this cloud.
Delete tags from the system.
Remove tags from the cloud.
Duplicate tags for modification (tags must be unique)
Move tags from this cloud to a different cloud.
