  • This form was originally geared towards being used with a navName column for the matching, it will automatically try to select the navName column in the Select navName Column combo box.

    • The form may also try to select other column that has the word name in it.

    • If no column with the word name is found, then it will select the first option in the combo box.

  • Based on what is selected, the Tags To Be Added list will change to reflect which tags will be added to records that match with the value in the combo box.

10. Click on the Apply button to save the changes and the form will disappear.

11. Typing in the name of any of the tags from the "Tags To Be Added" will result in any of the records that were modified by the form.

  • For example, typing hello into Folio will show records whose navNames are either AHU-1 or AHU-2 with the hello tag.
