Items
Models, Files, and Tags are collectively referred to as items in a Model Manager database. Items share many common features and functionality, including:
•
Items are version controlled. Every time you save an item, a new version is created in the database.
•
Items can be labeled and organized in the database by Adding and Removing Tag Assignments and by Organizing Items in Repositories.
•
Items can be imported and exported from and to the file system via Bulk Operations.
•
Item versions can be found via Searching and Filtering.
•
Items support Advanced Version Control such as Branching, Reverting, and Merging.
Item Settings
The Settings window for an item shows settings for a specific version of the item. Some settings are unique to a model, file, or tag, while others are shared by all items. Update any of the settings and click the Save button () to save a new version of the item. You can write an optional save comment. Click OK to save.
The Tags Section
All items have a Tags section in their Settings window that displays the Tags currently assigned to the item as a collection of tag pills. Click a tag pill and select Remove () to remove a tag assignment.
Click the Add Tag button () in the section’s toolbar to find an existing tag to assign to the item. Write the title of the tag in the text field to filter the popup list of available tags. The matching tags are shown with their title followed by the titles of their parent tags, if any, within parentheses. Either double-click a tag in the list or select a tag and press Enter to assign it to the item.
Click the Set Tags button () to open the Set Tags dialog box. The dialog box contains a tag tree of all available tags. Select a check box for a tag in order to assign the tag to the item. Clear a selected check box to remove a tag assignment. Click Clear Tags () to clear all selections in the tree. You can filter the tree of available tags by writing a tag title in the text field above the tree. Click OK to finish the tag assignment.
Prefer the dialog box opened via the Set Tags button () on The Home Toolbar in the Model Manager workspace over the Settings window if you only want to update the assigned tags of an item without saving a new version — see also Adding and Removing Tag Assignments. That dialog box also supports updating the assigned tags of multiple items at once.
