Tagging

This guide will show you how to use the Tags on the Drive plugin.

To use this feature, you have to download and install our Tags plugin first. It is free for download and use.

Interesting thing for the Drive is that you can tag both folders as well as the files inside the folders. As you know from the Drive documentation guides you can upload any kinds of files (source code files for programming, pictures, videos, text files, etc). So, you can tag any of these files.

Add existing tag

Please choose an existing tag from the folders/files list. Then open a folder/file and start typing it. It will come as a suggestion from the drop-down menu. Pick it. Save the changes.

Create a new tag

The create of a tag is similar. Open a folder/file. And type the full name of your new tag (for example "test tag 01"). It will appear s text below as a drop-down menu. Select it. Save the changes.

Edit and delete a tag

For this purpose, you have to go to Administration - Plugins - Tags (Configure button) - Manage tags tab. Here on the Tags for drop-down menu select Drive entries. You will get a full list of all your Drive files/folders tags.

On the right of a tag you will see Edit button. Click on it to change the name of the tag as well as the option to change the randomly selected color of the tag when it was created for the first time. Save the changes.

Right next to the Edit button you will find Delete button. When you click on it, you will be asked to confirm the deletion. After clicking Yes, it will be deleted permanently from your Redmine database.
