Tagging Branches

The document explains the use of tags in LEAP as a flexible alternative or supplement to the software's hierarchical tree structure, particularly for classifying technologies that fit multiple categories. It details how to assign, paint, and manage tags to filter results in charts and tables, and describes the specific toolbar functions for adding, deleting, and color-coding tags.

• Tags in LEAP allow users to classify data that belongs to multiple categories, which is particularly useful for Transformation modules where sub-folders are not permitted and technologies must be entered as a single list.
• Tags can be used as an additional dimension in Results View charts and tables to filter and organize results, provided that each branch is tagged with only one tag from any single tag group.
• The software provides several tools for tag management, including a tag toolbar for typing labels, a 'Tag Painter' for copying tags between branches, and a 'Manage Tags' screen (Alt+T) for creating color-coded groups.
• Tag settings allow users to determine if new tags should be added to or replace existing tags, and whether tags should be applied only to a specific branch or to that branch and all its children.
