Detail Tags: Best Practices

Best practices for setting up and applying detail tags in Pirros — admin-only guidance for organizing your library.

Updated this week

Tags are keyword labels that allow your team to filter and narrow their search results. Only admins can create and apply tags.

Best practice is for admins to only tag their Typical details. This helps provide transparency into what details make up their standards library.

For most other team members, the search functionality is powerful enough to surface the best detail.

For Architects & Designers

Organize by Uniformat code, for example:

  • Roof Details

  • Door Details

  • Exterior Walls

  • Stairs

For Engineers

Organize by material type, for example:

  • Concrete

  • Steel

  • Wood

You can add a second parameter for subcategories, but most firms find it unnecessary thanks to Pirros' powerful search capabilities.
