CTag Application Functionality

CTAGS can be set by selecting the appropriate tag from a pop-up window.  

The system is designed to recognise the file type and prompt with relevant tags for that file type.  

The interactive buttons enable the Data Manager to Copy and Paste CTAGs from one file to another file, as long as they are both the same file type. This is intended to make tagging more efficient where several files of a similar type are being uploaded at one time.

There are also keyboard shortcuts for the buttons; “Save” (press the s key on the keyboard), “Copy” (c key), “Paste” (p key) and close (x key). The “Up” and “Down” arrow keys on the keyboard can also be used to navigate from one row to the next. (One does not need to hold the 'ctrl' button for these commands).

To copy one set of CTAGs to another file, first select the required CTAGs with the mouse, then click “Copy” (or press c) and then click “Save” (or press s). This automatically moves down to the next row; if you want the same CTAGs applied to that row you can either click “Paste” and then click “Save” or press p and then s.

You can then repeat for any more rows required or move past rows with the arrow keys.

The NSTA has encountered an example of multiple CTAGs having been assigned to a SEG-Y file. While it can often be necessary to add more than one tag to a document, such as a report, the NSTA consider SEG-Y files to relate to one specific information type.

For this reason, users have been prevented from inadvertently assigning more than one CTAG to SEG-Y files – an attempt to add more than one tag will be shown as a reminder in the new CTAG selector popup, as highlighted in the image below.
