Tags are label words that you can add to the design making them easier to group and find. For example, you could add the blue tag to all designs related to blueish colorways. That would allow you to easily see, display, and search for related designs. Enable tags in modules to start working with tags.
The automated tagging option using Clarifai AI™ will index your designs and detect if similar designs in your neoCatalog exist. It allows you to search images with two options:
- Automatically generated tags so that the search of designs is easier using design character parameters.
- Search images that are visually similar to any designated query image.

Setup Clarifai account
The first step to start using automated 'Tags' is to configure the API to receive the tags. As a neoCatalog admin user, you need to configure the option of using Clarifai API.
1. Make your own registration on https://clarifai.com/signup to create a new application.
2. For the connection with neoCatalog required data are the App name, User ID, Language, and Base Workflow (General):
3. The second part is the generation of the PAT (Personal Access Token) key. Form your Avatar and go to Security. In the lower part of the page, you will find the fields for PAT key generation. Click on the link “Create Personal Access Token”.
4. Create your personal token name description and select all scopes. Continue with Confirm.
5. Once the token is created, you need the PAT key for the next settings in neoCatalog.
Setup tag preference for Clarifai API
The second step is to go to neoCatalog Preferences > Modules, enable the 'Tags' module, click 'Save' and continue with the Configure (blue) button. Enter the required Clarifai credentials:
- Clarifai PAT (Personal Access Token)
- Clarifai USER ID Key
- Clarifai APP ID Key
- Set the default tag detection language.
- Define the Minimum prediction value to set a minimum percentage for the precision level of detected tags. (recommended 90.
- Once all configurations are set, click Save.
Tag Designs
1. Now you need to tag your designs. If you configure the first time, you must tag all designs. Else, you should tag only the untagged. The tagging can take some minutes.
2. Once tagged, you will see the auto-created tags in the field available, and your designs are tagged.
Change Tag is an option that allows users to replace a tag in multiple designs at once. By selecting a tag from the list, users can select it, and the new version will automatically replace the old one across all designs that use it.
Tagging During Design Import
Another method for tagging designs is during the import process. The integration with Clarifai enables users to tag images directly within the import dialog, ensuring proper organization from the outset. Once the image is uploaded and ready for import, click the loading icon next to the Tags field to automatically assign relevant tags.
NOTE: Be sure that the "Tags" custom field is included in the Upload dialog.
