How to apply tags within a format at the client level

There may be occasions when a user needs to apply a tag within a format at the client level. For example if a spare note is used to disclose information, which is not anywhere else on the Accounts.

Click Edit button.
Click on the ellipsis button to display the Taxonomy.
Search for the tag or go to the folder using the scroll bar on the right.
When the tag is located, highlight it, make sure the Date Context is correct and click OK.
The Tag properties grid shows the legislation reference for the tag.

6. Once the tag is applied at a client level by the user, the cells are highlighted in RED which means that the tag was applied by the user and not by the system, as below:

7. Save the format, the page is now a local page.

When making a page local, write in the grey area to the right an explanation of why the page and/or tag has been altered.

In the example above the user applied tag is in red, system generated tags for the current period are in blue and previous period in green. These colours may differ if changed by your System Administrator upon set-up.
