Add tag to text

Use tags to tag the entire text. Tags are predefined and are the same as classes. So, if your project has 3 classes, such as car, pedestrian, and tree, then the tags that'll appear in the texts of that project will be car, pedestrian, and tree.

To add a tag to a text:

1. Go to the right panel of the Text Editor.
2. In the Tags tab, select the tag you want to add.
3. If the tag has attributes, select the down arrow to see all the attributes and select them (optional). If it’s a numeric attribute, type a number. If it’s a text attribute, type a text.

You can also apply a tag to a text with keyboard shortcuts. Each tag is assigned a number. When you press that number on the keyboard, the tag will be applied to the item.

1. In the top panel of the Text Editor, click Tags/Free Text.
