Managing Tags

Cogynt Authoring lets users create and apply tags to patterns. Tags help facilitate the organization, identification, and retrieval of patterns.

Tag information is displayed in the Tags section:

• The number beside the Tags section heading reflects how many tags are currently available. It increases when a tag is created, and decreases when a tag is deleted.
• The Name column displays the name and color of each tag.
• The Referenced column displays the number of patterns to which the tag has been applied (i.e., that reference the tag).
