GeoTags

A GeoTag is a defined location in Cartesian coordinate space that has a name and, optionally, a description associated with it.

GeoTags can be useful for identifying objects of interest in an asset to collaborate and leave notes for collaborators.

GeoTags can have custom text and list categories created at a project level.

Each list category value can have a custom color assigned to it for easier glanceability. Text categories allow for custom free-form text metadata to be added to the GeoTags in your projects. Both list and text categories allow for the metadata of your GeoTags to suit your business needs.

1. To begin, click Add GeoTag.

2. Click on the point on the asset where the GeoTag should be placed.

3. Enter a name and optional description for the GeoTag.

   1. A thumbnail of the GeoTag will be generated at the time that it is saved. Please adjust your view before saving, existing the save dialog to modify your view for the thumbnail will delete your unsaved GeoTag.
