INTRODUCTION
Marie Kondo believes that, “simplifying and organizing are the key to a serene environment.” We couldn’t agree more with her.
Event Tags are a feature in IMPLAN that allows users to organize Events within their projects by creating up to 100 self-defined categories. This process can save time and help declutter the screen for easy viewing. The Event Tags will follow from the Impacts screen to the Results screen and have filtering capabilities.
USING EVENT TAGS
ADDING TAGS
Adding Event Tags to Events is done in a few easy steps. Once the Event Values are entered, click on the Event Tag icon.
Clicking on this icon will prompt a pop-up window to create the first Event Tag.
Type in the name of the first tag in the Search Tags line. Then click Add with the name of the tag to create the first Event Tag.
IMPLAN will add the tag to the tag list, which will show up as an option at the bottom of the box. Users can add up to 100 tags to a single Event/Project.
After selecting the tags for the Event, click Confirm. Now the Event Tag icon will include the number of tags assigned to the Event.
Additional Events can also be tagged. Users can follow the same steps as creating a new tag to apply tags from the tag list to each Event or add new tags.
FILTERING TAGS FOR GROUPS
A box near the Save button allows for filtering Events based on tags. Click on Filter Tags to open the box with the list of previously created tags. Select a tag and click Confirm.
Now, only the three Events that have “Operations” as a tag are visible on the screen. Easily see what Events are included and click the Select All Events box to quickly drag only these Events to the Group. Remove the filter by clicking on the Filter Tags button again and unchecking the tag. This will again show all Events.
EXAMINING TAGS IN RESULTS
Users can also filter by an Event Tag on the Results screen. Choose one Event Tag from the Filter drop-down. The Results will be updated to include only Events with that tag.
