## Tags

Any object on the reference frame can have user-defined short string, so called tag. Tags are used to provide additional identification to objects on an exported charts. For example, when you assign a tag with GCVS name to your variable star; the caption ‘var’ and the GCVS name will be printed on the chart next to the star. Please note, that objects that are not selected can have tags, too.

Tags are stored to a catalog file and they are loaded to the project when you use the catalog file as a reference frame in the matching step.

A new dialog appears. Enter a text (single line) and confirm the dialog. The text should appear next to the selected star.

Tags can be removed from the same context menu.
