Layer tags

Use tags to categorise layers​

Overview​

A tag is a keyword or phrase that typically describes a category or shared characteristic, e.g. Lighting assets, Highways Department, Zone D.

By creating a tag and assigning it to multiple layers, you can define a relationship between them. A layer can have multiple tags, so it's possible to create many overlapping relationships without conflict.

This provides a way to quickly and easily filter the Layers panel when you want to focus on certain layers. Simply select the relevant tag(s) and the list will only show the layers you're interested in!
