Link Tags To a Document
Linking a tag to a document creates a Meridian Enterprise reference between the selected document and the selected tags in the vault. The reference is made with the TagObject Reference type.
Linking tags to a document and linking documents to a tag as described in Link Documents To a Tag accomplish the same thing. The only difference is the point of reference, a tag or a document. You can use either method depending on which is more convenient for you.
You must have the Edit Tag Assignments privilege to perform this task and the current document must the be latest revision of the document.
