We now have Four Header Tags

Tip:- The who/what/where/when tags are what we

call Header Tags, and we denote these by placing a “.” (period) in front of each one.

- It forces them to the top of the Tag list- It also reminds us to not use them as an

assigned context;- As you’ll see, they’re just folder names for the

related tags/contexts that we can nest below them.

We have to do Nesting as what TSW calls it:

- It is simply to create Related/Context Tags inside the Header tags.

You have to add the Context Tags inside the Header Tag .What

.Active Projects

.Inactive ProjectsDistributionIdeasMarketingSales

First, Right-Click .What

Type in .Active Projects

And Click OK!

You should see the Context Tag added inside .What.

Let’s add the rest of the Context Tags inside the Header Tag “.What” by doing exactly the same steps.

You should have 6 Context Tags added inside .What.

Next, Add Context Tags to Header Tag “.When”

We have to add this Context Tags
