Mariner Software StoryMill for Mac - Manual (Page 31)

Tags
Tags are short words or phrases that provide a
flexible way to attach metadata to items in
StoryMill. If the metadata, such as name and
status, that StoryMill provides is enough for your
project, then you never have to use tags.
However, if you want to be able to filter views
based on custom metadata, youʼll need to use
tags.
For instance, if you wanted to keep track of all
the pirates in your novel, you could attach a
“pirate” tag to each pirate in the characters view,
and then create a smart view to show only
pirates (shown at right).
To add a tag, click the + button at the bottom of
the tags area in the itemʼs metadata pane,
choose Edit→Add Tag, or hit ⇧⌘T. A blank tag
will be added. As you type, it will autocomplete if
it finds a similar tag in the project. You may also
click the arrows at the right side of the tag to
open a drop down with all past tags. Select the
tag you are looking for.
Drag and drop tags to reorder them. To remove a tag, click the tag
to highlight it and then click the - button at the bottom of the tags
area or hit delete.
