Creating Tags

You can create your own tags that you can use to search for and filter data elements and to control project visibility in a workspace.

To create tags:

  1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Model, and then select Tag.

    The Tag wizard appears.

  2. In the Project field, select a project in which to save the tag.

    You can create tags in Model projects only.

  3. Enter a name for the new tag.

  4. (Optional) Select a location for the tag.

    By default, Design Studio saves the entity to the root level of the project folder. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the default if you want to create additional subfolders. To select a different location:

    1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

    2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

    3. Click OK.

  5. Click Finish.

    The Tag editor opens.

  6. Enter a description for the new tag.

  7. (Optional) In Build Directives area, click Add.

    A dialog box appears that includes the Run-time Classification tag, which is a system-provided tag that you can associate with the new tag. Associating your new tag with the Run-time Classification tag ensures that you can use the new tag to group configuration items in Design Studio and to enable UIM users to search for configuration specifications using tags. See "Associating Tags with Configuration Items" for more information.

  8. Click Save.
