Using Keywords to Describe Files
Chapter Topics
How Do I Use Keywords?
Keywords are terms you choose that describe one or more 
source files in a collection.  They may describe the literal 
content of a file (such as objects in a photo, or events in a 
video clip) or its subjective aspects (for example, adjectives 
like beautiful or intense).
Unlike information in text data fields, keywords do not 
have to conform to a category that applies to every file in a 
collection.  You simply add them to a master list for the 
collection, then attach them to an individual record or 
multiple records as you see fit.
Keywords are powerful search tools.  If you add keywords 
extensively across a collection, you'll be able to pull up 
almost unlimited combinations of records instantly based 
on keyword searches (for example, 18th-century paintings 
with a dark red background).
