Create a Topic / Tag

Topics are used to relate elements to each other for purposes of identifying similar Reports/Charts when the See Related drop-down list is populated allowing a more in-depth analysis of trends. Topics are also used to filter and/or group elements on the Homepage Main Panel.

Topics are one of the customizable Pick Lists that provide the ability to create a new value 'on the fly' while in the process of defining or managing an element. A new Topic may be required if none of the existing values meet the needs of the Element being defined. The same function may be used to edit or delete an existing Topic

Both of the available ways to add a new Topic are described below.
