Tags and Tag Library

Every model can contain a set of tag groups. Using these groups, elements can be tagged. Tag groups can be imported from a tag library. Tag groups for a model can be edited. The current version of the tag library provided with Southbeach is attached below for reference.

• • Explorer panel - Tags

    • Right mouse to add/edit tags

    • Set tag groups as inclusive or exclusive

    • Drag tags onto agents as required

    • Rename tag groups

    • Remove a tag from the mode

  • Right mouse on agents - Tags sub-menu - to set or unset a tag

    • Plus option to show or hide tags for that element

  • In the agent views - Explorer panel - View the model by Tags

    • Also drag agents in the Tag View to change their tag values (complements all other forms of editing tags)

  • Tool tips on agents and effects display all tag values for that element

Southbeach provides a tag library

• • Toolbox panel - Tags

  • Tag groups organized into areas

  • Right mouse to add a tag group to the model

  • Drag tags from library onto agents as required

Make agents from tag groups (quick best practice creation)

• • From tag library right mouse menu, create named agents from the tag values

  • From tag library right mouse menu, create tagged agents from the tag values

Extending or changing the tag library

• • Look in the My Documents/southbeach/MyTags directory

  • Open the usertags.txt file for instructions

  • Add new .txt files as required

    • Add, suppress or change tag areas

    • Add, suppress or change tag groups

    • Add, suppress or change individual tag names

With MyCreativity

• • Use tags to match either patterns or macros

  • @tag

  • @taggroup

  • @taggroup:tag (fully qualified)

  • Works like all other creativity, combine with any other attributes, e.g. useful+@priority:P1

  • Using tags in patterns limits the application of a rule to matching agents

  • Using tags as macros pulls out agent list from model matching those tags
