how to tag documents?

[gian]

hello All,

I am moving my very first steps with Alfresco, so please be kind! 😉

I have created a user, me, a home space, and imported a pdf.

Now, how do I tag it?
I can't seem to be able to create tags or categories.

Also, doing a search with a word inside a pdf won't return the document, nor doing a search on the selected category.

thanks for reading!
cheers,
-Gian

You can do that using a webscript.

Check out here :http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.0_JavaScript_Services_API#Add_tag_to_a_node

If you're using the older Explorer client (/alfresco) then tagging is a little tricky, but can still be done.

- Choose Run Action, then Apply Aspect
- Choose the "Taggable" aspect and finish the wizard

On the details page you'll then see a "Tags" property. If you edit the data (clicking the icon in the top-right of the panel) you can then click the empty tags label to bring up a tag picker control.

All this is easier in the Share client (/share) which has much better native support for tagging.

Thanks,
Mike

yes, I was exploring the Explorer client…

I'm glad you say it's a little tricky, because I felt soooo stupid….

thanks for helping,
