Firstly, Screens will need to have Tags assigned to them, then Tags can be added to Playlist entries to dynamically control what Media is displaying on each Screen.   ![](https://support.eyemagnet.com/hubfs/CMS-Media-Configuring%20Tags-01-png-2.png)   --- ### Add Tags to a Screen To add a Tag to a Screen, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the **Screens** page. 2. Click on a **Screen** in the Screen Library to open up the Settings panel. 3. Scroll down to the **Tags** field. 4. Start typing in the Tag/s of your choice and push the return key. To add multiple Tags, add a comma after a Tag. 5. Click the **Save** button to apply the Tags. ![](https://support.eyemagnet.com/hubfs/CMS-Media-Configuring%20Tags-02-gif-1.gif)   --- ### Add Tags to a Playlist entry To add a Tag to a Playlist entry, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the **Playlists** page. 2. Click on a **Playlist** in thePlaylist Library. 3. Next, click on a **Playlist entry**, to open theMedia properties. 4. Scroll down to the **Tags** field. 5. Start typing in the Tag/s of your choice and push the return key. To add multiple Tags, add a comma after a Tag. 6. Choose a **[Tag Filtering](https://support.eyemagnet.com/cms/configure-tags#tag-filtering)** option. 7. Click the **Save** button to apply the Tags. ![](https://support.eyemagnet.com/hubfs/CMS-Media-Configuring%20Tags-03-png.png)   --- ### Tag filtering Tag filtering provides a wide range of advanced scheduling opportunities. Many possible implementations are depending on the needs of your digital signage displays. There are three behaviours of Tag filtering: - **Any:** The Media item will be displayed on a Screen if **any** of the Screen Tags match the Media item’s Tags. - **All:** The Media item will be displayed on a Screen if **all** the Screen Tags match the Media item’s Tags. - **None:** The Media item will only be displayed on a Screen if **none** of the Screen’s Tags matches any of the Media item’s Tags. For example, a venue could have a single marketing Playlist set up to play on all advertising Screens. Tag filtering could be applied to filter this Playlist based on the area of the Screens; such as indoor and outdoor, or based on retailers in proximity to avoid a clash of interest with marketing.   --- ### Default Tags Default Tags are an advanced feature to be used deliberately and systematically and should not be used for basic categorisation of Media Itemsfor search purposes. Instead, use consistent naming conventions and Media Item comments for searching purposes.   ![](https://support.eyemagnet.com/hubfs/CMS-Media-Configuring%20Tags-04-png-1.png)   --- ### Add a Default Tag To add a Default Tag, follow these steps: 1. Click on a **Media item** in the Media Library. 2. Next, type out a word in the **Default Tags** field. 3. Start typing in the Tag/s of your choice and push the return key. To add multiple Tags, add a comma after a Tag. 4. Click the **Save** button to apply the changes. If you add a Default Tag to your Media item that is already within a Playlist, then the Default Tag will not be pulled through to a Playlist entry. You'll have to replace your Media item within that Playlist.
