Use Tags for more powerful insights

The Need for a Tagging mechanism

When working with Entity Classes, Relationships, Models and Visualizations, numbers can add up pretty easily. See the Data Dashboard below and pay attention to the high counters in the tiles (e.g. 1374 Visualizations).

A large number of entities in the Data Dashboard.

When clicking a tile to enter the list view of the Entity Classes, RelationShips, Models and Visualizations, a list containing many pages can be presented. Making it hard to find the required item.

Dragon1 offers a tagging mechanism to drill down to the required items, making it easier for you to find the items. Also, the use of Tags helps in getting more insights into underlying relationships between items.

Two kind of Tags

Dragon1 supports two kinds of Tags:

• System Tags
  These can be set by the account manager and are stored in a separate list.
• Data Tags
  These tags can be set on the fly by a user to an entity.

How to work with Tags?

Working with Tags is straightforward and works the same way among Entity Classes, Relationships, Models and Visualizations.

Getting started is as easy as following the steps below:

• Log in.
• Click 'Collaboration' in the left side menu.
• Click 'Data Dashboard' to open the Data Dashboard.
• Click on a tile (e.g. Applications) to open the list view.

Unfiltered list wiew containing entities.

• Click on an item to open it for editing (e.g. My Application).
• Click on the 'Edit' button in the top button bar.

Adding Data Tags to an Entity.

• Enter the tags in the 'Tags' text field. Tags should be comma separated.
• Click the 'Save' button.
• Click the 'List View' button in the top button bar to return to the list view.

Repeat these steps for other items in the list view.

How to use Tags for filtering?

When the Tags are applied to the items in the List View, the list can be filtered using Tags. To do this, follow the next steps:

• Log in.
• Click 'Collaboration' in the left side menu.
• Click 'Data Dashboard' to open the Data Dashboard.
• Click on a tile (e.g. Applications) to open the list view.
• Click the 'Tags' button in the top button bar.
  A Tag navigation pane will appear in the top of the screen, containing two tabs: System Tags and Data Tags.

System Tags that can be used for filtering in the list view.

Data Tags that can be used for filtering in the list view.

• Click a Tag (e.g. Azure) and the list gets filtered on the Tag.
  By Clicking multiple tags, a quick drill-down is made on the list, providing powerful insights.
