Searching for Tags
From the Tag Explorer:

The search results in a list of tags. Click on one of them to open the corresponding list, or right-click to select the options to navigate to the tag.
You can exit the search result by clicking on the left arrow located on the Results title line.
Note that the search result is limited to the first 100 items. You may refine the search if you go over this limit.
From the DATA Tab:
It is possible to search for tag ID only from the Data Tab. All other metadata are not associated to the search in this case.
The search is done on all the Tag Lists in the active Work Zones, or in the list you open.
Results from the search will be displayed together with the Tag List name and the Work Zone path for each tag.
You can also use one of the Actions icons on the right side of the screen to view Tag details or to open the Tag in 3D View (Play 3D). Note that if you click on the Tag, it will open the Tag List.
Viewing Tags and Tag Properties (metadata) From the Tag Explorer in the 3D View
In the 3D View, use the Tag Explorer to set a list of tags as ‘Show’. Tags in this list are displayed with the list color selected when creating this tag list. Tag color can be changed at any time by editing the tag list:
When a tag list is selected, bounding boxes will appear in the 3D View (no highlight color):
Moving the mouse cursor over the list or over one tag in the list will highlight it in red in the 3D view:
When selecting one tag in the list, its bounding box will be displayed while other tags will be highlighted only with the tag list color:
To select a tag, you can select it from the list or you can also click on the highlighted colored equipment in the 3D view.
Once a tag is selected, you can click on ‘Properties’ at the bottom of Tag Explorer, to open the properties and display the metadata.

Exporting Tag Lists
Tag lists can be downloaded as a CSV file from the DATA Tab or from the Tag Explorer in the 3D View.

The user can then select one tag in the asset management platform, and click on the link to open Cintoo Cloud and view the tag in its existing real-world conditions.
In the DATA Tab, select the ‘Download’ action for a selected list of tags:
