Creating tags

You might want to group certain data rows to be able to examine them in various contexts.

About this task

By attaching tags to these rows, they can be easy to spot. In the Tags panel, you first create a tag collection, which you add tags to.

Procedure

  1. If the Tags panel is not already visible, select View > Tags on the menu bar.
  2. If you have more than one data table in the analysis, select the data table where you want to add the tag collection.
  3. Click New tag collection, .
  4. In the New tag collection dialog, type a Name for the tag collection.
    This name will also be used as a column name, when the tag collection is viewed as a column in visualizations.
  5. Optionally, type a Description with details about the tag collection.
  6. To add a tag, click New.
  7. Type a Tag name, and click OK.
    The tag is added below Tags in the New tag collection dialog.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have added all tags that you want to include in the tag collection, and click OK.
  9. In the visualization, mark the rows that you wish to assign a certain tag. In the Tags panel, then select this tag and click Attach tag to marked rows, .
    Alternatively, drag the desired tag to the center of the visualization, and drop it on the Attach tag drop target. You can only attach one tag at a time.
  10. To find all rows with a certain tag, double-click the tag in the Tags panel.
    All rows with the attached tag get marked in the visualizations.
    Note: You can distinguish all rows without a tag by double-clicking Untagged in the Tags panel.
