Tags are pre-set values which can be applied to assets for filtering and classification purposes.
Tags can also be generated automatically based on image content using integrated AI-based image recognition algorithms.
You can add tags to assets using the Bulk Edit or Single file edit functionality.
To assign a specific tag to multiple assets, you need to select the files and then choose "Edit multiple assets." Then choose "Tags", and you can select the tags that you would like to apply to your assets (tags must already be present in the list in order to be assigned; you can't create a new tag while bulk editing).
Clicking on "Regional settings," you can choose the language to apply your tags.
You can assign tags to a single file by selecting that file, then clicking on "Manage" and choosing the icon representing "Edit metadata".
At that point, you will have the option to add new tags, choosing them from the "Suggested" list or generating them using the AI service (if this feature is enabled for your project). If you start typing a tag that does not currently exist in the Tags list, it will be added to the list and attached to the asset at the same time.
For that purpose, you need to use the Bulk Edit functionality. Please select the files containing the tag you want to detach and choose the "Editing multiple assets" option. Then, in the Tags section, choose "Delete" and specify the tag you want to remove.
Please select the asset whose tags you want to edit, then go to "Manage" and open the "Edit metadata" mode. You can now remove tags by clicking on the "x" symbol at the top-right corner of every tag or by choosing the "Clear all" option to delete the entire tags list.
To search by a specific tag in the Search box, you need to type #name-of-your-tag
or to use the dedicated Tags filter.
General settings for tag management and use
This tab enables the user to create a dictionary of predefined tags, translate them into all supported languages, and specify whether or not they should be suggested (in the asset management details screen).
You can define a new tag in one or more languages by clicking the + Add tag button, which will take you to the end of the list of current tags. If there is no specific value for some language, the default language value will be used instead.
If the toggle button "Suggested" is ON, the tag will be shown in the suggested tags that appear on Asset Edit.
You can Search by Tag name using the Search box and define how many columns with Displayed languages will be shown while editing the Tags data.
If you select one or more tags using the Selection checkbox at the left of the tag's name, a navigation menu at the top of the page appears, providing the option to Delete or add multiple tags at once to "Suggested."

Auto tagging
This is an ON/OFF toggle button. If set to "ON" this feature will allow DAM to generate tags automatically. External providers are used to analyze the asset and push back tag suggestions for the content of your file.
Max number of automatic (AI) tags
This setting limits the number of tags generated by the external provider when auto-tagging an asset. Its purpose is to prevent the generation of a long list of not relevant tags (in addition to the confidence %)
Auto-tagging confidence
It specifies how confident the external algorithm should be that the auto-generated tag is relevant to the image. Values below 50% are considered low while values >80% are considered high. Only tags having confidence equal to or above the configured value will be shown.
Tag provider
You can select an external AI tagging provider like Google or Immaga.
Predefined tags only
A toggle button which, if set to "Yes", disables the Auto-tagging and allows DAM to use only the list of already defined tags in the tab "Dictionary"
Available languages
Lists the supported languages for tags, with "en" as the default. Additional languages, such as French (fr) and German (de), can be managed on the Metadata page.
