Auto Tags

The SharinPix Auto-tag feature is used to automatically tag images with one or more specified tags upon image upload.

This feature can be configured through the following methods:

  • Through the SharinPix Global Settings

  • Using a SharinPix Permission record

  • Through SharinPix Parameters

  • Using SharinPix Tokens or URLs

Setting up the Auto-tag through the SharinPix Global Settings

The Auto-tag feature can be configured using the SharinPix Global Settings as follows:

  • Open the SharinPix Global Settings. To do so, from App Launcher, search for SharinPix Settings ,** ** then click on the button **Go to administration dashboard **to open the global settings

  • On the SharinPix Global Settings, select **Settings **from the top menu bar, then click on the button labeled as Edit Organization

  • Next, under the **Tags **section, select the tag to be automatically applied to all newly uploaded images from the list next to the field labeled as Auto-tag

  • Click on Update Organization when done to save your changes

Note:

  • By configuring the Auto-tag feature in the global settings, the tag used will be applied to all images uploaded to standard SharinPix albums unless a customized SharinPix permission has been assigned to specific albums

  • Only one tag can be selected when configuring the Auto-tag feature in the SharinPix Global Settings

  • If the Auto-tag drop-down menu is empty, it may be because you have no tags available yet

  • Tags having the public attribute set to true will not appear in the drop-down as these are used for sharing images outside of Salesforce

Setting up the Auto-tag using a SharinPix Permission record

The Auto-tag feature can be configured using a SharinPix Permission record as follows:

  • Click on the button **New **to create a new SharinPix Permission record
