Improved Tagging & Search

Find what you're looking for faster — with more ways to describe it and more ways to filter it.

What it is

APBnet™ introduces tags — descriptors you attach to a bulletin to make it easier to find and filter. Combined with additional structured fields and advanced filter combinations, you can send, receive, and search with far greater precision than ever before.

Why it matters

The more bulletins in the system, the more important it is to cut through the noise quickly. Better tagging means bulletins are easier to find — not just by the person who sent them, but by every user who needs them later.

Who uses it

Anyone who searches for bulletins benefits. Investigators and analysts building case leads, and Creators who want their bulletins to go to the right people, will find tags and structured fields especially valuable.

How it works

Apply one or more tags when creating a bulletin. Send bulletins to users that have marked those tags as topics of interest to them. In searches, use the filter panel to combine tags, bulletin type, date range, and geographic area to drill down to the bulletins of interest.
