Creating Tags

Tags are a special class of Profile that can be thought of as "post-it" notes which you can attach to your Entries. Some useful tags might be, "Needs more photos" or "Needs dimensions."

To create your Tags, follow these steps:

  • from the Main Menu (the three horizontal bars in the upper left) select "Profiles"
  • select the "Tags" icon
  • click on the + button in the upper right to create your Tags.

Once you've created them here they will be available to you when you are creating or editing an Entry.

This video demonstrates the process of creating and using a Tag:

De-duplicating and Consolidating Profiles

It is very common to have multiple Profiles (i.e Person or Place) that represent the same entity but have different spellings and need to be consolidated into a single representation. The "Replace" feature is designed to de-duplicate and consolidate multiple Profiles into a single Profile.

From the appropriate Profile list page:

  • click and view the Profile you want to eliminate
  • select Replace from the "Actions" menu
  • find and select the replacement Profile and click Replace
  • edit and delete the unwanted Profile

Here's a quick video that shows the entire process:

Downloading your Original Image

CatalogIt stores your images for you in their original format, unaltered. You can download them to any device by following these steps:

  • Select the Entry to which the image is attached
  • Click on the image you would like to download
  • Click the "Download" icon in the upper left corner
