Tags are free markers on artifacts, for example “customer meeting March”, “clarify with purchasing” or “variant 2029”. Unlike attributes, they do not have to be configured beforehand: a new tag is created when first used and is then available throughout the project.
Tag or attribute?
| Tag | Attribute |
|---|---|
| temporary or personal marker | permanent property binding for everyone |
| any terms, without validation | fixed values, required fields, defaults |
| for collecting and finding again | for evaluation, filtering, export and ReqIF |
Rule of thumb: whatever matters in the specification, in reviews or metrics (status, priority, ASIL) belongs in an attribute. Tags are for day-to-day work.
Setting tags
- Individually: on the artifact page in the Tags area, enter several terms separated by commas and save. The capitalisation of existing tags is kept.
- For many artifacts: in the table view, select rows and choose Add tag at the bottom.
Using tags
- In the document view, tags appear as round badges in the row.
- The table view filters by one or more tags and shows them as a column.
- Tags are part of baselines: comparing two states also shows changed tags.
Deleting tags
In the project properties, the Tags tab lists all tags of the project with their colour and number of artifacts. Group admins can delete a tag there as soon as it is no longer attached to any artifact, including artifacts in the trash. Remove it from the artifacts first.
Earlier states remain unchanged: baselines, their comparison and the history of the artifacts keep showing the tag by its name.
