A '''Update''': The tagging functionality has now been implemented in trunk and the prototype can be downloaded from [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3880 Feature Request #3880] as a patchis no longer available. It is was intended to demonstrate the functionality of an interface and to investigate some design ideas.

== Analogy with mails ==
* '''Notes''': For example "notes in progess", or "notes in german",
* '''Media''': For example "Picture belonging to Uncle Alfred".
Tags have been added to People, Families, Notes and Media.
== Operations with tags ==
== Prototype ==
It has the following functionality:
* The prototype allows tagging of people only.
* Row highlighting has not been implemented.
The prototype stores tags as custom attributes with no value. Tags can be added and removed from people by using the standard functionality of the person editor.
* A tag maintenance dialog to organize tag names and colors. This could be similar to the "Organize Bookmarks" dialog.
* Storing tags in a new field will require new functionality to be added to the editors.
=== Tag Priority ===
* When an object has more than one tag, the color of the row in the view will be determined by tag priority.
* Tag priority will be defined by the order of the tags in the Tag Organizer. The higher the tag is in the list the higher its priority.
=== Questions ===
* Should the new tags replace existing marker functionality? Answer: Yes, markers have been removed in trunk.
* A tag will be lost if an object is tagged when its editor is open and then "OK" is clicked in the editor. Do we need to think about this?
==To do==
*{{bug|5806}} Proposed expansion of tagging for Gramps 3.5 (Assigned:[http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/tagging-to-multiple-Persons-Sources-etc-tp4655133p4655180.html Nick Hall] to allow ''tagging to multiple Persons, Sources etc'')
