Free tags fields allow your contributor users to enter their own tags on assets, to increase the searchability of those assets.
You may want to know what tags are being used by your users. This may be because:
You want to look for tags that should be removed
You want to find tags that might be mispelled
Our free tags fields are generally most useful for storing the auto-tags that Dash creates when you upload an asset. For storing your own additional tags, we recommend using controlled tags. Controlled tags let you see all tags in use, and control the tag that users can add to assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate my free tags to controlled tags?
Yes, we can help you migrate your free tags to controlled tags. Just get in touch with us via the in-app chat and we'll support you with this.
Can I view a list of all existing free tags in my Dash?
It isn't possible to view a list of all existing free tags. This is one of the reasons why for data that matters, we recommend using controlled tags. To view a list of all existing free tags, you can request a metadata export which will contain this information, and you can use that to move the tags to a different field with a metadata import.
