Taxonomy is a hierarchical/tree-like label structure and a useful tool for organizing content. A simple example of taxonomy is organizing files into folders in Windows Explorer.

Taxonomy trees can be created by system administrators only. 

Once created in the Picario interface, it is then displayed on the page of assets.

Click a taxon to see all assets attached to it. In the picture above, the tag of the selected taxon is seen at the top of the page, on the search bar. It is possible to perform a further search within the taxon, using text or advanced search filters. To select more than one taxon at a time, click the desired taxa holding down the Ctrl / Command key.
