tag icon A tag is simply a word you use to describe an asset. Tagging is a lot easier and more flexible than fitting your information into preconceived folders—the key is to tag sparingly and with focus, using words that are highly descriptive.

How to organize your set of tags

Simply put, the tags are like categories. You can use tags to categorize your assets with one or multiple tags. (How to create tags).

The tags are available for all users in your fluxiom account right below the search and zoom toolbar at the top of the asset browser. You can mostly deduce your individual set of tags from the profession you and your team is working in. To give you an idea here are some tag sets form other customers:

fluxiom private tags - example

Tags show up on the top-bar in the asset browser and are used to navigate/filter the content so you can find things fast just by turning on/off certain tags. For example, if you click on the core tag “Images” from the topbar only assets with the tag “Images” will appear in the thumbnail view. If you click on “Today” you will only get assets that have both tags: “Images” and “Today”. With the tag bar it’s that easy to browse and find assets.

Tip: Use tags sparingly! You can still add “freeform” tags to every asset e.g. in the description field to help fluxiom shoot straighter when searching for assets.
