Creating new tags

Creating a new tag in the vault creates a new proxy to represent an asset. However, the new tag will not be synchronized with the maintenance management system and will not be available to maintenance users. Therefore, you should contact a maintenance management system user to add the desired tag to the system for you. The tag will then become available in the Meridian Enterprise vault after the next synchronization with the maintenance management system.

To create a new tag:

1. Confirm that the tag does not already exist. For this, you can use the Find Tags command described in Searching for tags.
2. Select the document in PowerUser to which you want to link the tag that you will create.
3. View the tags that are currently linked to the document as described in Viewing linked tags.
4. Click Manage Links. The Manage Document Links dialog box appears.
5. Click New Tag. New tag data appears at the bottom of the linked tags list. You can add data to the tag in a later step.
6. When you are finished creating tags, click Close.
7. Select the new tag that you created and click Go to Tag.
8. Click Edit. The property pages become editable.
9. Select or type information just as you would for a document.
10. When you are finished adding information, Click OK to save your changes.
