Overview

tags are metadata defined on a component to characterize it and make it easier to find.

This metadata can be of different types to ensure consistency of the data stored in FlowerDocs.

A tag class defines the typology and characteristics of a tag within a scope. This tag class applies to all tags associated with components, and is made up of the following elements:

id: technical tag identifier
displayNames: tag display name (ex : Agency name, building no., etc.) internationalized
searchable: Boolean to make the tag searchable or not
Type: tag id

Type	Description
`STRING`	String (e.g. reference, customer name …)
`TEXT`	Text field (ex: comment …)
`CHOICELIST`	Choice list (e.g. type of document …)
`ICON`	Icon list (e.g. input channel …)
`FREELIST`	Choice list (e.g.: reference linked to an external IS …)
`CONDITIONAL`	Conditional value list (e.g.: list of departments according to direction …)
`FLOAT`	Decimal number (e.g.: rate, proportion …)
`INT`	Integer (e.g.: number of supporting documents …)
`CURRENCY`	Decimal number limited to 2 decimal places (e.g.: amount …)
`DATE`	Date (e.g. due date …)
`BOOLEAN`	Check box (e.g.: medical confidentiality …)
