Good to Know:

While selecting the tags for creating the reports, you can use the 'Search within child' checkbox to choose either to show the entire hierarchy of the parent and child tags or to show the parent and child tags that contain the keyword or the substring of the keyword you used to search the tags.

When you select the Search within child checkbox and search for tags by using a specific keyword, the search results display only the parent and child tags that contain that keyword or the substring of that keyword. The Search within child checkbox is selected, and “child” is the keyword that is used to search for the tags. In the following example, the Search within child checkbox is selected, and “child” is the keyword that is used to search for the tags.

When you clear the Search within child checkbox and search for tags by using a specific keyword, the search result displays all the parent and the entire hierarchy of child tags, irrespective of whether the child tags contain the keyword or the substring of the keyword that you specified.

In the following example, wherein the “child” is the keyword that is used to search for the tags.
