Tags and Other Search Options
Tagging a file makes searching for files relating to a certain topic simple. When you search for specific words, if your document is tagged with those words, you are able to find them easier.
Add Tags
Before you can tag a file, you will need to add tags. To do this, you must be at the document level (you can either add a “new file” or click on a file you have already created). In the properties column, the list of “Tags” will initially be empty.

- It will turn tan.
- Click on the blue tags link. A new window will open.

- Private means your tags will be private for yourself. Nobody else will be able to see your tag.
- Click Add to save.
- You have created a tag. Now scream with excitement! Okay, maybe just pat yourself on the back because you are probably in an office. Possibly pretend to scream with excitement?
- To create more tags, repeat steps 3 through 5 (including screaming or patting yourself on the back).
Edit a Tag
- In the tags box, click a tag you want to change.
- Rename and change the private setting as you wish.
- Click Change. Your changes will save.
Adding Tags to a File
In the Properties column, select one or more tags that this file has (to select more than one, use control or shift and click on all of the desired tags). Once the tags have been selected, click on the blue “change” link and the tag will be attached to the file. After this is done, you can filter by tags in the upper area of the Documents Module. Selecting a “Tag” from the “Tags” drop-down field will make a new window open that lists all of the files in your database with the selected tag. The window will display the name you associated with the file, the actual file name, the file size, and the location of the file. The name you gave the file in Procentive will be a blue link, and clicking on it will bring you directly to the file. You will be able to tell that the tag is linked to the document because it will be highlighted. Note: You MUST be in the correct “Main File” for the system to bring you to the file location.
