The Tag Settings dialog allows you to define how elements will be tagged. Tags can be placed individually by single or multiple selection or by views. Predefined Tag Settings contain information such as Family, location, and leader placement. Groups can be created that contain multiple Tag Settings that can be selected to filter and display specific Tag Settings. Intuitive tagging allows elements to be tagged based on default Tag Settings.
