You can apply tags in the metadata of each asset and then group assets by tags in the Project Explorer. This feature helps you quickly search through assets of a specific category.

Procedure

  1. In Business Central, go to Menu Design Projects and click the project name.
  2. Open the asset editor by clicking the asset name.
  3. In the asset editor window, go to Overview Metadata.
  4. In the Tags field, enter the name of your new tag and click Add new tag(s). You can assign multiple tags to an asset by separating tag names with a space.
