Writing tags from field data

The Field To Tag feature copies the contents within a selected field to a create tags in the Tags pane.

When selecting a field to create a tag from, ensure that you select a field that is listed before your OCR numbered fields.

Example:

In this example, we are selecting the ADMIN field, which appears before the OCR1 field.

Tags and tag folders do not support Unicode characters.  Only ASCII (values 032-126) characters are allowed. If a tag name or tag folder name contains an invalid character, you are prompted to make corrections.  The Prescan option scans the field data for any invalid tag names.
