During Eagle material management, you may encounter two special categories: "Uncategorized" and "Untagged". This article will explain their specific meanings and usage scenarios.
What is "Uncategorized"
"Uncategorized" refers to materials in the leftt-side "Folders" panel that have not yet been added to any folder. These files have been imported into Eagle but have not been organized yet.
Calculation example:
- If you have 10 uncategorized files and 190 categorized files
- The total of "Uncategorized" and "Categorized" files is 200, which equals the number of "All" files
What is "Untagged"
"Untagged" refers to materials in the left-side "Tags" panel that have not been assigned any tags yet.
Usage tips:
- If your total material count is 100 and the "Untagged" count is also 100, this indicates that all materials have no tags assigned
- Adding appropriate tags to materials can significantly improve organization and search efficiency
Important notes
- "Uncategorized" and "Untagged" are system-generated categories that help you identify materials needing further organization
- Regularly checking and organizing materials in these two categories helps maintain an orderly material library
- Good categorization and tagging habits can greatly improve material search efficiency
