Electronic Lab Notebooks can be organized and color coded using
tags, helping users group and prioritize their authoring and review work. New tags can be defined during notebook creation or in advance. You could use tags to represent projects, teams, or any other categorization(s) you would like to use. Each notebook can have a single tag applied.
Manage Tags
From the main menu, click
Notebooks, then select
Manage > Tags to open the dashboard.

Notebook Settings section. Check the box to require a tag.
