  <p>It seems to me that the most likely scenario for adding/tagging attachments is in the creation of activities - I tested adding a tag for attachments in the demo site, and when I created a meeting activity and opened up the attachment section, the tag field was there: <a href="http://screencast.com/t/fNc98uR6Uq" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://screencast.com/t/fNc98uR6Uq</a>  </p>
  
  <p>What puzzles me, however, is that there is no apparent way to search for attachments or activities/contacts with attachments (which is different from searching within the attachments, which would be an entirely different ballgame), other than Search Builder (which is somewhat opaque for a lot of the Civi users with whom I work).  I see <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/3769/search-contacts-with-attachments">from this message</a> that others have asked the same question - until the attachment tags are searchable, the usability is a bit limited IMHO.</p>
  
  <p>Hope this helps,

Body: <p>Whilst looking at tags for other reasons, I noticed that you can create tags to be <strong>Used for Attachments</strong>.  </p>
  
  <p>I haven't found where this is covered in our documentation (certainly not in the section on tags that only refers to tagging contacts, activities or cases).</p>
  
  <p>I can't include it in the documentation, because I haven't come across a situation where I can tag an attachment and I have no idea how it to do it.</p>

  Whilst looking at tags for other reasons, I noticed that you can create tags to be **Used for Attachments**.
  
  I haven't found where this is covered in our documentation (certainly not in the section on tags that only refers to tagging contacts, activities or cases).
  
  I can't include it in the documentation, because I haven't come across a situation where I can tag an attachment and I have no idea how it to do it.
  
  If someone can explain when/where/how/why you tag attachments I can include it in the documentation for 4.7.
  
  **Tags:** tags, documentation
