Adding tags to images using Capture

Capture

Commerce

Adding a tag to a subject is a great way of quickly identifying and grouping images in Studio and Commerce. This is useful if you want to tag images for yearbook, siblings, re-shoots, glasses etc. It's easy to set up and you will only need to make an additional scan in your workflow.

Note: A scanned tag will only be in use until a subject ID is scanned again. To clear a tag, simply scan the subject ID again.

Create QR Code

First you will need to create a QR code. You can use an online QR code generator, or you can create an additional QR code through Commerce. This will sit alongside your other subject QR codes.

Note: This functionality is not available using barcodes at this time. It is restricted to QR codes only.

The system will only recognise a tagging QR code in the following format:

eiTAG$group
eiTAG$siblings
eiTAG$reshoot
eiTAG$glasses

Note: A tag will only be added to the metadata of the images if it is prefixed by eiTAG$

To create a 'siblings' (or equivalent) tag in Commerce:

1. Create a subject called sibling tag as first and last name.
2. Use the tag you need for the subject password, in this case:  eiTAG$siblings
3. Generate the subject QR code sheet.

Scan First mode

1. Scan subject ID like normal.
2. Scan the extra tag. The Reader screen will acknowledge that an additional tag has been scanned and should show what type of tag have been registered. Meaning, when you scan an eiTAG$siblings tag, SIBLINGS will show on the Reader screen.
   
3. Take photos.
4. You will be able to see the scan has been successfully added in both the Commerce and Console:
   • Commerce
     • In the relevant Session, click the Subjects tab.
     • Open the subjects' gallery by clicking the blue password adjacent to the green images icon.

• • Select the photo with the tag by moving your mouse over the image and clicking the Edit icon at the base of the image square.

• • You should see the tag listed in the Image Tags (optional) line.
• Console
  • Click on an image in the Event Gallery and select the JSON tab on the right directly under the image.
  • Scroll down until you spot the "tags" line. The extra tag you scanned should appear as shown

Photo First mode

1. Take photos like normal.
2. Scan subject ID.
3. Scan the extra tag. The Reader screen will acknowledge that an additional tag has been scanned and should show what type of tag have been registered. Meaning, when you scan an eiTAG$siblings tag, SIBLINGS will show on the Reader screen.
