Tags are included in every plan. You need write access to Repertoire to create, edit or delete tags and to tag works. Using tags in a CWR delivery or delivery plan needs write access to Deliveries. Because tags currently apply to works, the Tags page only appears for record companies with publishing.
How tags work
A tag belongs to one record company and has a name, a colour and an optional description. Names are unique within the record company. A work can carry any number of tags, and a tag can sit on any number of works. Keep names short and specific enough that the meaning is obvious in a list, such as Priority, Catalogue 2019 or Needs ISWC. Use the description to record what the tag is for and who maintains it.Create and manage tags
Tags are managed in one place, so everyone in the record company works from the same list.1
Open the Tags page
Open the record company, go to Configurations and select Tags. The page lists every tag with its colour and description, and you can search by name or description.
2
Create a tag
Select Create. Enter a Name, pick a colour from the palette or set a custom colour, and optionally add a Description that explains what the tag is used for. Save the tag.
3
Edit a tag
Open the row menu of a tag and select Edit. Renaming or recolouring a tag updates it everywhere it is used; you do not need to re-tag anything.
Delete a tag
Open the row menu of the tag, select Delete and confirm. Creating, editing and deleting tags is recorded in the Audit log.Tag works
Tag one work
Open the work from Repertoire › Works. Its tags are shown under the title. Select Add tag (or Tag when the work already has tags), then search for and select a tag. Remove a tag by selecting the cross on its chip. Changes are saved immediately.Tag many works at once
1
Select the works
In Repertoire › Works, filter the list if needed and select the works to change. You can also use Select all to include every work that matches the current filters.
2
Open Edit Tags
Select Edit Tags in the bulk actions bar.
3
Choose what to add and remove
Pick the tags to add under Add tags and the tags to remove under Remove tags. Tags the works already have, and tags you do not pick, are left as they are. Confirm to apply the change.
Filter works by tag
Use the Tags filter above the works list and pick one or more tags. The list shows works that carry any of the selected tags. Combine it with the other filters, for example to find untagged priority candidates by contract, and tag the result in bulk.Use tags in CWR deliveries
A CWR delivery sends works to a delivery partner. Tags let you narrow which works a run includes, on top of the Work selection setting that decides whether a run sends every work or only works that are new or updated since the last delivery. When you create a run under Deliveries, or create or edit a delivery plan under Deliveries › Delivery plans, two fields control this:
A tag cannot be both included and excluded in the same selection.
For example, tag the works you want to register first with Priority and the works that are not ready with On hold. A delivery plan with Only works tagged set to Priority and Skip works tagged set to On hold delivers the priority works, minus any that are also on hold, on every run. When a work is ready, remove On hold and the next run picks it up.
Each run records the tag filters it used, and the run page shows them as Only works tagged and Skipped works tagged, so you can see later why a work was or was not included.
