TagIt XT

Automatically creating and updating text contents in files

TagIt XT allows the user to attach tags to text boxes which can contain a combination of both variable and static text. This saves the user time keying in information which already exists from another source and is subject to change – such as date, time and issue number. TagIt XT is a very powerful tool because variables can be mixed with static text and both can be formatted by applying XPress tags.

TagIt XT tags are stored in the TagIt XT preferences and can be used for any number of text boxes in any number of documents. As TagIt XT tags are ‘sticky’ to text boxes, you may also pre-tag text boxes, put them – alone or as part of multiple XPress elements – into libraries and then later on drag’n drop such items onto your pages: your tags will already be tagged to the respective text box(es). Launch the menu command “Update TagIt XT tags...” – and the new text will flow into those text boxes.
Although the tagging is a manual operation, the update can be performed
automatically on opening, printing or saving a document or driven in an unattended batch operation through callas software’s powerful automation XTension, AutoPilot XT.
