Copied from Legacy Help (Deluxe Edition) Tagging Options Enable Tagging Options You can tag individuals and marriages to mark them for various reasons. For example, you might want to tag some people to be included in a report, or tag some individuals who you are currently doing research on so you can find them quickly when you get more information. There are nine tags you can use for each individual and for each marriage. (The Standard Edition has only three tags.) This lets you use different tags for different purposes. Perhaps you want to export all individuals with tag #3, print an Ancestor report for all tag #2 people and use tag #1 for names you are currently working on.
If you do not want to use the tagging option in Legacy, you can turn it off by unchecking the box. (See Advanced Tagging for more information on how to use this powerful feature.) All Rights Reserved End of copy Basically, Tags allow you to "mark" a person for some reason. If you wanted, you could use Tags to mark everyone who has passed of hereditary disease, mark those you want to get a death certificate for, mark those who just had children to remind you to get more information, or, if you have a person whose ancestors you do not want to print in reports, you can tag them. You could tag those people you have no cause of death information on to help you keep a list of people you want information on. Tagging can get as complex or as simple as the user wants, Legacy used to have just 3, and we Legacy users pleaded for more. Even if Millennia gave us 900 tags to work with, someone, somewhere would want more. Tags help you sort. Tags help you find common denominators. I use tags to tell my Reports which people to print- sometimes there are reports for whom I do not want the recipient to see everyone. Have you seen the 1, 2, 3 at the top of husband and wife? Those are the 1, 2, 3, numbers for tags. Some of us want ALL 9 tags to show, but I have to admit Legacy is running out of screen real estate. I am not doing good service to Tagging. Geoff Rasmussen has done a better job and has a Tagging made easy CD on Millennia's website. It is wonderful. I recommend it.
