Some points to remember about tags

• You don't have to set them up in advance. That is, you can simply type new tags into your properties to add them. As soon as you save the property, any newly encountered tags will be added to the list of tags.
• Tags cannot contain spaces. If you type a space when you're entering the name of a tag, the system will recognise that as the end of the tag, and make what you've typed to that point into a tag. The same applies to commas (,) and semicolons (;).
• You can edit this list of tags in Reference items | Tags. If you rename a tag in that list, it will be changed everywhere.
• It's really worth sorting out exactly what tags you want to apply to properties, and making sure everyone agrees. Otherwise things are likely to get out of hand.
• Once you have some tags in the system, they will show up when you start typing a tag, so if you keep them hierarchically, you should be able to pick what you mean fairly easily:
