Organize documents with tags
In Genius Scan and Genius Cloud, documents can be organized with tags, which are more powerful than folders. A document can be tagged with several tags and you can filter documents with tags.

Tags export
Tags are saved into keywords metadata when you export your documents as PDF.
You can view and edit your tags on your computer by opening the Properties dialog box in your PDF reader. Some operating systems allow you to search and sort your document by PDF keywords, but third-party utilities like FileMeta and PDF Property Extension might be needed on Windows.
