Tags
Tags group Objects across Types by topic. Tag a Book, a Meeting, and an Idea with #productivity, then open the productivity Tag to see all three side by side.
In Lar, a tag isn’t a string stored in a hidden field. Writing #reading creates or reuses a real Tag Object and links the current Object to it through the built-in tags relation. A Tag can have its own page, description, aliases, and backlinks, and it appears in the graph as a node that tagged Objects connect to.
Add a tag while writing
Section titled “Add a tag while writing”Type # followed by a tag name in an Object’s body, then select an existing Tag or create a new one. The Object is linked to that Tag.
Add tags from the Object page
Section titled “Add tags from the Object page”Use the Object’s tag row to search existing Tags and add or remove them. Reusing the same Tag Object keeps graph and filter results consistent.
Browse a Tag
Section titled “Browse a Tag”Open a Tag to see every Object connected to it. The Tag page lets you add a description and aliases, and browse and filter its members.
To find tagged Objects in a query, use tag:reading, or combine it with a Type, as in type:Book tag:reading. See Query language.
Avoid duplicate Tags
Section titled “Avoid duplicate Tags”Don’t create near-identical Tags for different capitalizations or alternate names. Instead, open the existing Tag, choose Add aliases, and add the other names, so one machine-learning Tag also matches ML.
Tag or Label property?
Section titled “Tag or Label property?”- Use a tag when the category should be a navigable Object shared across Types, such as a topic or an area of your life.
- Use a Label property when the allowed values belong to one Type’s schema and should behave as a controlled field, such as a Project’s status.
