This is why Hysopt offers a tagging feature, that allows the user to add semantic meaning to the base circuits and pipes in a selection. Tags are useful when the user is switching between parts of a system that are typically parameterised together. After tags have been put in place, the user can simply type the name of the tag in the tag area, and the corresponding base circuits and pipes will be selected.
Assignment
To assign tags to base circuits or pipes, simply first make the selection of items you wish to tag on the canvas via drag-select, or appending to your selection (Ctrl). Afterwards, go to the "Tags" tab and fill in a tag name and press "Enter" or the "Add" button. The tag will now be assigned, and a tag is shown underneath the insert field with a delete button next to it.

Note: base circuits and pipes can have multiple tags.
Searching for tags and/or IDs
Besides tags, BCs also have IDs. The BC IDs are shown when pressing "Ctrl+I".
