Blacktagging vs Whitetagging

Tagging Options During Setup

• During creation of the mumc_config.yaml, MUMC will give the option to enter a comma separated list of blacktags and/or whitetags.
  • blacktags entered during setup are global and apply to all media_types
  • whitetags entered during setup are global and apply to all media_types
  • The same tag cannot be used for both a blacktag and a whitetag
  • Backslash \ is not an allowed character
• media_type specific tags can be used by adding the media_type and then adding a list of tags for the specified media_type

advanced_settings:
  whitetags:
    global: [list,of,strings] #yaml lists can be on one line like this
    media_type: #yaml lists can also be over multiple lines like this
    - list
    - of
    - strings
  blacktags:
    global: #yaml lists can also be over multiple lines like this
    - list
    - of
    - strings
    media_type: [list,of,strings] #yaml lists can be on one line like this

Use Blacktagging When

• In general, you want MUMC to delete media_items matching the tag.
  • This can be changed with behavioral_statements and/or behavioral_tags

Use Whitetagging When

• In general, you want MUMC to keep media_items matching the tag.
  • This can be changed with behavioral_statements and/or behavioral_tags

Tagging

• Is optional
• Multiple tags can be used
• Tags must be in yaml list format
• Global tags apply to all media_types
• Media specific tags apply only to the media_types they are specified under
• Tags apply to all monitored_users
• Whitetags have a higher priorty than Blacktags

Blacktag Examples

• Examples of how Blacktagging usually works:

advanced_settings:
  blacktags:
    global:
    - deletetag
    - delete tag
    - delete-tag
.
.
.
admin_settings:
  users:
  - user_id: ...
    user_name: user0
    whitelist:
    - lib_id: ...
      collection_type: library0
      path: ...
      network_path: ...
      lib_enabled: true
    blacklist:
    - lib_id: ...
      collection_type: library1
      path: ...
      network_path: ...
      lib_enabled: ...

• Blacktagged media_items from library0 could be deleted

---

• Blacktagged media_items from library1 could be deleted

Whitetag Example

• Examples of how Whitetagging usually works:

advanced_settings:
  whitetags:
    global:
    - keeptag
    - keep tag
    - keep-tag
.
.
.
admin_settings:
  users:
  - user_id: ...
    user_name: user0
    whitelist:
    - lib_id: ...
      collection_type: library0
      path: ...
      network_path: ...
      lib_enabled: true
    blacklist:
    - lib_id: ...
      collection_type: library1
      path: ...
      network_path: ...
      lib_enabled: ...

• Whitetagged media_items from library0 could be kept

---

• Whitetagged media_items from library1 could be kept
