No matter what the content of a given tag cell might be, the cell itself is easily identified by its
spreadsheet-style coordinates – that is, its row and column number. For example, in Figure 128, the tag
cell at row 0 and column 2 has the text value “Visitors”. The tag number for that cell, “02”, is easily
understood – and equally easily entered.
Tip: The “TEAM” tab in the example actually uses just one row of tags. In such cases, you don’t even
need to enter the first digit. Simply pushing 2 on the number pad snaps the text value “Visitor” into the
FastClip dataview.
Typing a tag number on the Control Surface number pad (with the TAG button lit) snaps the text entry in
the corresponding cell into the dataview. You can easily build complete sentences with a few number
pad button presses using this method.
Finish the operation by pressing ENTER to add the final text to a clip Memo (or push the SEARCH button
to use your entry as criteria to quickly find specific clips you have tagged previously.
13.2 THE TAGS BUTTON
3Play’s TAGS feature relies on the Control Surface number pad as its primary input device. Numeric entries
made using the keyboard are always treated as literal numeric characters.
Similarly, if the TAGS button is not lit, Control Surface entries are added to the dataview as simple
numbers. (It’s possible to enter tags by directly clicking cells in the TAGS pane with the mouse, but in
most cases you’ll find it faster to work with the Control Surface.)
