Are tags possible?

[robin reid]

hi all
I'm hoping to tag a few people in my database who are Planters. There doesn't seem to be an option for tagging in the way I'd like to, but perhaps Reunion calls it something differently.
Basically I'd like to tag them and then search by that tag.
Marking seems to be the closest thing, but it appears it's an 'all or nothing' sort of tagging. I currently have a few people already marked that are 'questionable data' people, but don't want them showing up when I search for those marked Planters.
Even a choice of check mark colours would help.
Thoughts?

thanks
Robin

Robin,

Sounds like a "flag" would do what you want. You'd create a flag called "Planter" and mark that flag on the cards of the people it applies to. You can later search on the flag. For example, you could search for "Planter checked" and "# of citations = 0" to find all planters with no attached references.

If you search the manual for "flag" you'll find lots more, and if you need more info you can ask here
