Tag Values
This section lets you manage and add values for a selected Tag Field.
What is a Tag Value
When a user selects or adds a menu option within a Tag Field, that’s a Tag Value. Tag Values are the values assigned to Tag Fields. They are the actual menu options a user sees in each Tag Field and the final executed metadata associated with files.
They are the words or values listed in the name of an Asset Group, and they are the Keywords or values used to search and filter for a file.
Tag Values can be anything, such as a Yes and No for a checkbox status, or a list of Production Titles under the Tag Field called “Production,” such as Zombie Holiday, WTF 3, and Avenged: Again.
Tag Values can be pre-populated, or users can be allowed to enter their own values when a Tag Field isn’t locked.

Add or Edit Tag Values for Nested Fields
If a field is nested, its values may be dependent on its parent values. Therefore, to view its values, you must first select a value from its parent field to view all values that are nested under it in the nested field. Conversely, clicking on a nested field will display all of its parent fields as well.
Add a Tag Value
To add a value to a field, just click the icon above it. You'll be prompted to enter the new value. Click Save when done.
Edit a Tag Value
After you have selected a value, you can modify it if you'd like. In the "Editing [value]" section, just type your changes to the Tag Value, and click Save. Your changes will instantly be applied to any File that is categorized with this value.
Delete a Tag Value
To delete a value, click the icon that's displayed when mousing over it, or select it and then click the Delete button in the "Editing [value]" section. Note that you can only delete a value that is not applied to any Files. If you'd like to delete a value that is used to categorize Files, you must first re-categorize those Files with a different value.
