# Registration Tags in PaymentWorks

The **Registration Tags** feature allows payers to add, view, and filter tags on **New Vendor Requests (NVRs)**. This functionality helps streamline workflows by organizing and categorizing registrations for easier management.

---

### **Viewing Tags**

- **Who can view tags?**  
  Any payer user with permission to view an NVR can see the tags applied to that NVR.
- Tags are displayed in both the NVR **list view** and **details view**.

---

### **Adding Tags**

- **Who can add tags?**  
  Payer users with permission to approve or reject an NVR can add tags.

#### **Steps to Add a Tag:**

1. Navigate to the NVR **list view** and select the NVR you wish to tag.
2. In the NVR **details view**, scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Click the **+Add Tag** button in the **Tags** section.
4. Enter your tag (up to 80 characters) and press **Enter** to add it.

#### **Autocomplete for Existing Tags:**

- If tags already exist in your payer account, the system will autocomplete to show matching tags as you type.
- To reuse an existing tag, select it from the dropdown list.
- Note: Tags are **case-sensitive**, though autocomplete suggestions are case-insensitive.

#### **Tag Sorting:**

- After adding tags, they will automatically sort alphabetically when the page is refreshed.

---

### **Removing Tags**

- **Who can remove tags?**  
  Payer users with permission to approve or reject an NVR can remove tags.

#### **Steps to Remove a Tag:**

1. In the NVR **details view**, locate the tag you want to remove in the **Tags** section.
2. Click the **"x"** to the right of the tag.

#### **Important Notes on Removing Tags:**

- Removing a tag disassociates it from the NVR but does not delete the tag from your organization's tag database.

---

### **Editing Tags**

- Tags **cannot** be edited directly.
- You can add or remove tags from an NVR, but existing tags in the payer’s database cannot be modified or deleted.

---

### **Filtering NVRs by Tags**

- **Who can filter tags?**  
  Any payer user with permission to view NVRs can filter by tags.

#### **Tag Filtering Options:**

- **Exact Match:** 
    - By default, the filter searches for tags that exactly match the entered text, regardless of case.
    - Example: Entering "abc" with the **Exact Search** checkbox checked will return results for **ABC**, **Abc**, **abc**, etc.
- **Partial Match:** 
    - Uncheck the **Exact Search** checkbox to include tags that start with the entered text.
    - Example: Entering "ab" will return results for **AB**, **abc**, **ABBA**, **abcd**, etc.

---

### **Important Notes on Tags**

- **Notifications:**  
  Tagging an NVR with a user’s name does **not** notify that user.
- **Collaboration:**  
  While tags can indicate who is working on an NVR, tagging does not restrict other users from accessing or modifying the same NVR.

---

### **Best Practices for Using Tags**

- Use standardized tag naming conventions to maintain consistency.
- Regularly review and update tag usage to ensure they remain relevant and organized.

Tags are a powerful tool to improve efficiency and ensure smoother collaboration across your organization when managing NVRs!
