Multiple Smart Tags per Scan

269 votes

I would appreciate applying multiple smart tags to a scan. This would be super convenient since I organize my notes heavily with tags on Evernote.

You even use multiple tags in this idea tool.

perhaps use #hashtag embedded in a note to populate the smart tags

I came just to put this in, and searched before I did, and found this one so I upvoted it!

Multiple tags are essential! I don't see the use of just 1 tag. For that, I have the title.

When you do multiple scans that cover different topics, the ability to do multiple tags before saving and sending is ideal and a timesaver. Please please implement this idea!

A tag is different from a category, and the difference is precisely that tags are not mutually exclusive, i.e. you can add multiple. This feature isn't really "tags" until you can add multiple tags to a scan. +1

I was pleasantly surprised to find tags. Then unpleasantly surprised that one can not use multiple tags. Can only agree with Doug here - you can only really call this tags after implementing this feature.

It would be much appreciated!

Multiple tags would be an amazing upgrade and a total game changer in my opinion. I have most scans sent to my work email and then use predefined search folders to find and order my scans for ease of access. Being restricted to a single Smart Tag greatly reduces the granularity with which you can locate scans that relate to multiple things. For example, for a scan of notes from a meeting with a team member 'John' during which topic 'X' and topic 'Z' were discussed I would like to tag with 'John', 'X', and 'Z', currently I have to just tag as 'John' and then hope OCR (or my handwriting) is good enough to search for 'X' and 'Z'.

In addition to enabling multiple smart tags, it would be good if the UI for Smart Tags was changed so that you had a search bar with predicative search for the tags you are seeking based off input. This would make it easier to parse and assign the additional tags people would create if/when you enable multiple smart tags per scan.

The ability to add multiple tags would vastly enhance Rb's usefulness as a tool for implementing GTD. Even BETTER would be the ability to add tags to the note before scanning and then have the app be able to recognize and apply the tags!

Just discovered this isn't possible. It's essential!

This is BASIC functionality! Why don't we have it???

I spent a TON of time trying to figure how to add multiple tags because I KNEW Rocketbook had to have that feature. Then I found out it didn't. Mind blown.

YES, YES, YES to this. I often need more than 1 tag for a note. For example, in a meeting or phone conversation where many topics are covered, I really need a way to tag each topic so I can easily find these topic references in the future. PLEASE IMPLEMENT A FEATURE TO ALLOW MULTIPLE TAGS SOON!!!!!!

I agree with the comment above that it’s currently more of a “category” feature currently than a “tag” feature (I was thinking “folder”, actually, but there obviously aren’t any sub folders). In any event, I’d almost always want to add at least two tags to every scan, so a single tag isn’t working for me.

Yes! The reality is pages serve multiple purposes.

Same opinion, tags are an element of proper knowledge management _only_ when you can add them in bulk and leave the dynamic slicing/filtering for later. And there's nothing "smart" about these until it's fixed so that multiple tags can be added.

Desperately needed for workflow, for example I have notes from a pricing review meeting where the title of my notes are ##Pricing Review YYYY-MM-DD## but ideally I would tag the exact clients we speak about in that meeting since we only meet when there are MULTIPLE clients to discuss. I agree that the current denomination of this feature as tags are misleading and definitively more category in nature.

I agree. Having multiple tags would allow me to search in multiple ways vs. having to remember and think about the one tag that's most important.

I find tags most useful when I need to find a file and my memory is foggy for where it is, or how to look for it. So it's key to have lots of tags for a scan so that I don't have to remember specifics. If I wrote some notes for an idea for organizing art materials that uses chronological order, it would be helpful to have the tags "idea" "organizing" "art" "materials" "art supplies" "storage" "chronological". That way, if I need to look it up for reference or to use, I need to remember only 2 or 3 of the 7 tags to find it. I don't have to remember everything, just enough of the general idea.
