Tags

Tags are coloured labels you can apply to media files, layouts, playlists, and screens to organise and filter them. The Tags page is where you create, rename, recolour, and delete tags.

Get there: Sidebar → Tags

What the Tags page shows

The Tags page lists every tag in your workspace. Each row shows the tag’s name and colour swatch. From here you can:

• Create new tags
• Edit a tag’s name or colour
• Delete tags you no longer need

Applying tags to specific items is done from those items’ own pages (see Media Tags).

Create a tag

Click + Create Tag. Enter a Name and choose a Color using the colour picker. Click Save.

Tag names are case-insensitive — Summer and summer are the same tag.

Edit a tag

Click the edit (pencil) icon on a tag row. Update the name or colour and save. Changes propagate immediately to all items using the tag.

Delete a tag

Click the delete (trash) icon on a tag row. A confirmation dialog appears. Deleting a tag removes it from every item it was applied to — this cannot be undone.

Tip

Before deleting a tag, check if any Dynamic Playlists use it as a rule. Removing a tag that a dynamic playlist filters on will change which media appears in that playlist.

Using tags

Tags are applied to items throughout Stratos:

• Media — apply during upload or from the media edit dialog. See Media Tags.
• Layouts — apply from the layout row’s context menu.
• Playlists — apply from the playlist row’s context menu.
• Screens — apply from the screen edit dialog.

Once tagged, items can be filtered by tag using the Tags filter button on the relevant list pages.

Tags in Dynamic Playlists

The most powerful use of tags is as rules in Dynamic Playlists. A dynamic playlist with a “Tag = summer” rule automatically includes every media file tagged summer. Add or remove the tag from a file and the playlist updates on the next sync.
