custom tags?

jdbuck

I would like to export items to csv, then summarize by tags, but it is a big job to manually parse tags on different topics from the single [Manual Tags] column. Is it possible for a user to create their own custom tag columns so tags on different topics can be entered in separate columns? For example, I would like to tag items by location (e.g., USA state, river basin) and what type of animal was studied (e.g., fish or insect), and have this information in separate columns for filtering and summarizing the collection outside of Zotero (for example, to make a map of the USA with all the fish items plotted in a state or river basin).

Nothing built in. You could use a made up tag prefix (say g: for geograpy, s: for species, etc.) and then modify the CSV export to put them into separate columns, but that's about the best I can come up with (and requires some coding for the 2nd part, obviously.)
