In other services like Tropicos, collections can tag a specimen or group of specimens.

It would be nice to have this feature in 7! It definitely would help for project management.

This should be able to be applied in query results.

Does this sound like what they need? A text field on the CO form is used to serve as the tag field. The tag field is assigned a pick list of available tags The pick list system is expanded to allow selecting multiple items.

I think that's a fair implementation of this feature request. It might be worth creating a unique system for this feature so it can be used across all tables- maybe independent from the record?

Your idea should be enough for NMC
