Tags
In Docwize, users have the option of tagging a document. A tag functions like colourful ‘sticky notes’ that someone might add to identify documents related to the similar topic and/or that contain the same key phrases, format or content. Users can create tags, tag documents, un-tag documents, and delete tags. One document can have multiple tags attached to it. Users have the option of assigning a single document to a tag, or bulk-assigning documents to a tag.
Tags are accessed by clicking on the hamburger icon in the Preview Document's horizontal toolbar to access the sidebar. Then, one can navigate to the 'Tag' section on the sidebar.
