When attempting to pull media from an SMC server utilizing the Sync Media Tool the tool requests that the user enter the course code for the class that they want to pull. However, if you used the SMC to auto-tag the course, it actually tags the files with the course name, not the course code. This makes it so that the user thinks they need to enter the course code, but should actually be entering the tag that is set on all the media files (In this case it would be the course name if using the auto-tag feature).
It would be most useful if the auto-tag tool properly applied the course code instead of the course name for the tags as this tends to be shorter and more unique,
