Dynamic Tags

For the Attributes, excluding Media Categories, Dynamic Tags can be used.

When used, these tags will be replaced by the file’s information – for example, using {file_dimensions} will output the Image Width and Height as part of the attribute’s value.

To insert a tag:

  • Start typing in the applicable Attribute field, and click the applicable Tag from the list
    Media Library Organizer: Defaults: Tags: Autocomplete

There’s no limit to the number of Dynamic Tags that you use in an Attribute’s value.

The following Dynamic Tags are supported:
