Odyssey has a feature called 'Tags' to better organize Media resources. Multiple tags can be added to any media resource, which allows a user to narrow down which media resources are needed as part of workflows.
Adding/Editing Tags
To add or edit tags to a 'Media' resource:
- Select 'Printshop'
- Select 'My Resources'
- Select the 'Media' resource group
- Select 'edit' next to a Media resource
- Enter a tag(s) under 'Tags'
- This can be any word or words that will help a user identify and narrow down when this particular media resource will be used, such as 'Business Cards' or 'Flyers'
- Select 'Save Resource' after any other edits to the resource are performed
Example of 'Tags' being added to a Media resource
