Use of Tag property.

Hi All,

We commonly see the property in almost every element called as Tags.

This property will be available almost evert elements in Application object explorer.

So, what is the use of property? Let me explain it.

This is nothing but a search engine which will make you to identify objects quickly from the Application explorer tree.

For example, Let say I am developing one functionality - Each functionality will have data model, data types, forms, classes etc...

So, while creating each object I will mention the tag property for each of the elements.

Suppose some other developer want to find all the objects that are related to functionality - Navigate to visual studio >> Extensions >> Find tag references >> Small window will open which will show all the tags which are created.

Select the tag and upon clicking it will show all the objects that are related to selected tags.

Also, you can add the existing tag to objects - Let us take a table HcmWorker - Right click the table and click on Tags >> Add tab >> It will open a dialog with list of tags available - Select any one of Tags - New tag will be added in the Tags table property. You can also remove the tag from right click "Remove the tag".

To identify the objects that are tagged - A small pencil like icon will be found on the elements. It will be easy to identify that the elements have tag property added.

Thanks.
