Tags (Administrator)
Use Tags to create PA Zone Groups, Command Groups, and/or User Groups. In addition, Tags simplify the task of assigning multiple elements to another element.
- Tag PA Zones based on their similar requirements for receiving pages. When you create a Command, you can assign a group of PA Zones to that Command by simply selecting the Tag.
- Tag Commands based on the requirements of a Page Station to have specific Commands available for use. (Typically this would be the physical proximity of a Page Station to a PA Zone.) When you create a Page Station, you can assign a group of Commands to that Page Station by simply selecting the Tag.
- Tag Commands based on the requirements of Users to be able to use specific Commands. (Typically this would be based on the User's job function.) When you create a User, you can assign a group of Commands to that User by simply selecting the Tag.
- Tag Users based on their need to use specific Page Stations. (Typically this would be the User's job function and location of the Page Station.) When you create a Page Station, you can assign a group of Users to that Page Station by simply selecting the Tag.
- Once you have created Tags for any of the above, you can filter the items based on the Tags you have assigned.
Creating Tags
You can create Tags in three different tabs: PA Zones, Commands, and Users. Tags you create in one tab are listed in, and can be used in the other two tabs as well.
In the Administrator:
- Select either the PA Zones tab, Commands tab, or the Users tab.
- In the right side pane, click the plus (+) button. An empty field displays.
- Type the name you wish to use for the Tag.
- Press Enter. The Tag displays in the Tags list with the name, an empty check box, and an X.
- Continue to create Tags as required.
Note: The Tags are listed alphabetically in the Tag list.
Assigning Tags
In the Administrator:
- Select either the PA Zones tab, Commands tab, or the Users tab.
- Select the PA Zone, Command, or User to which you want to assign a Tag. You may use Ctrl+click or Shift-click to select multiple elements.
- Click the checkbox of the Tag or Tags you wish to assign. The Tag displays to the right of the PA Zone, Command or User.
Note: When you select a Zone, Command, or User that already has a Tag or Tags assigned, a check in the check boxes of the assigned Tags displays. If you select multiple Zones, Commands, or Users, all of the common Tags are checked. The Tags that are assigned to only some of the Zones, Commands or Users, display the check box filled with a square, not a check mark.
Filtering by Tags
To filter using Tags, you must first create and assign the Tags. In the Administrator:
- Select either the PA Zones tab, Commands tab, or the Users tab.
- Click the filter icon in the top left corner (next to the plus sign). A list of Tags displays.
- Click the check box of the Tag or Tags you wish to filter by. Only the PA Zones, Commands or Users assigned the selected Tags display.
- Click the filter icon again and deselect any or all of the Tags to remove or modify the filter.
Deleting Tags
In the Administrator:
- Select either the PA Zones tab, Commands tab, or the Users tab.
- Click the X on the right end of the Tag you wish to delete. The Tag is deleted.
- If you clicked one of Tags displayed beside a PA Zone, Command or User, the Tag is deleted only from that item.
- If you clicked one of the Tags in the Tags list (right-side pane), that Tag is deleted from the Tags list and any PA Zones, Commands, and Users to which it is assigned.
