{{languages|Tags in Gramps}}

For people using ''gmailGmail'' or ''thunderbirdThunderbird'', tags the [[Gramps_Glossary#tag|Tag]] feature will not be something newseem familiar. Instead of classifying emails into folders like in ''Outlook'' (in Windows) or ''Evolution'' (in Linux), emails are classified by assigning tags to them. So instead of having a disjoint N:1 classification (a email can be in one and only one folder, and a folder can contain many emails), in ''gmailGmail'' or ''thunderbirdThunderbird'' there is a N:M classification (a email can have several tags, and a tag can be applied to several emails)

'''Markers''' are were the original implementation for this functionality in Gramps. They were much like the folders for emails. A person can could be given at most one marker. Tags are thus like multiple-valued markers.

[[File:gramps-tag.png|right]]Tags and filters will both create identify subsets of the tree. However , they have practical differences in usage. Specifying your fathers father's family using filters is an easy thing; there are already Ancestor filters based on some logics that rules built-in to do itthis. On the other hand, specifying the people that emigrated to the USA is harder, while . And filtering for the famous people in your family it is simply impossible as --- there is no logical rulefor such a subjective characteristic. Tags are Creating a 'Famous' Tag is much more practical herefor such a purpose. However , filters have the advantage of being '''dynamicaldynamic'''. If When you add an ancestor of your father in the database, it that ancestor will be automatically added to the discovered by an Ancestor filterfocused on your father. On the other hand, tags are '''statical'''have no such automation. When adding a famous person in the tree, you would have to explicitly tag Tag them as ''FAMOUS''.

Tags are available to use with all primary objects. Those objects can be tagged individually in their object dialog. In the category list view is possible to select also more than one object and tag them at the same time with [[File:16x16-gramps-tag.png]]{{man label|Tag}} button, which opens '''Organize Tags''' dialog. You can add, edit , delete tags in this dialog. These affects in whole family tree. Also reordering of tags is possible.

{{man warn|Deleting wipes out totalevery instance|Deleting a tag in '''Organize Tags''' dialog removes it from all objects, not only from just those selected in the view.}}
