Tag, You’re It

Image tagging is a powerful tool for managing and finding your images. It can help you to organize your images, make them more searchable, and automate tasks such as content routing and approval.

Microsoft Syntex is a content intelligence platform that can be used to automatically tag images with descriptive keywords. This makes it easy to search for and manage your images, without the need for manual tagging.

To enable image tagging in Microsoft Syntex, you must first configure Pay-As-You-Go Syntex billing and then enable image tagging for the SharePoint libraries where you want to use it. Once image tagging is enabled, Syntex will automatically tag all images uploaded to those libraries.

It does this by adding an Image Tags column. You can edit this column to change the available functionality.

The tags that Syntex assigns to images are based on a variety of factors, including the objects and scenes that are depicted in the image, as well as the metadata that is associated with the image.

Syntex also allows you to create your own custom taxonomies for tagging images. This can be useful if you need to tag images with more specific or technical terms.

Once your images have been tagged, you can use the Image Tags column in SharePoint to search for, sort, filter, and manage your images. You can also use the tags to automate tasks such as content routing and approval.
