As you review the chronology, you can tag events for search and review.  For example, you might want to identify events that involved domestic violence, or hospital attendances.

What can you use as a tag?

You can use anything as a tag - it is just a piece of text like any other - but using a # character as part of it fits with common use in social media and elsewhere.

For example, you might use #dv and #ha to tag domestic violence and hospital attendances.

Where can you define and put a tag?

Edit an event in the Table presentation to add tags to it. Either use the Edit button above the table, or right-click an event to display this Context Menu:.

You can put a tag wherever you like, except in one of the 'special' columns at the left of the table - the Sequence, Date, Time, Source of Information, and Glossary columns. If you do so it will interfere with the way Chronolator processes them.

How to use the tags

You might  find it useful to add the tags to the Abbreviations Glossary. That way, you will not forget what you meant by them if you leave the review for a long while.



You will also be able to take advantage of the suggestions as you type in a Glossary Search (see Searching and filtering events).
