Adding tags to assignments

Background

Tags make it possible to keep related assignments together (as there is no folder structure for assignments). Authors can add new tags to assignments, or reuse existing tags. Authors, schedulers or analists can then search for assignments by tag in the assignment, monitoring and reporting modules.

Tags are not the same as metadata because it can only be one single value and it's not predefined. It can also only be added to assignments, not to items.

Procedure

1. Go to Authoring > Assignments.
2. Open an assignment by choice.
   Result: The overview tab of the assignment opens.
3. Add the tags to the assignment. There are two possible ways:
   1. Reuse existing tags by choosing them in the dropdown menu.
   2. Add new tags by typing text and selecting +Add '...' as new value.
4. Authors, schedulers or analists can now search for assignments by these tags in the assignment, monitoring and reporting modules.
