Tagging a lesson

Ana has written Meet the Unit Fractions. Now she tags it, so teachers can find it by its grade, by what it teaches, and by what it uses.

A tag is a term attached to a lesson. Terms come from vocabularies: managed lists, such as Grades or Subjects, that a maintainer looks after. Ana doesn't make terms up as she goes. She picks them, and each tags field takes them from one vocabulary, by rules of its own.

Try it: select Strands, then Keywords, and compare their rules.

Ana adds the Science strand Plants to Measuring Pumpkins

Plants can't be a strand of a lesson

A lesson's strands come only from under Math, and Plants is under Science. Choose a strand under Math, such as Length or Weight.

What Ana would be told on adding Plants, a Science strand, to Measuring Pumpkins.

If you tried this

Each field keeps its tags in the order Ana gave them, and never holds the same term twice. Its rules are checked when she saves, like any other field's: a strand from outside Math is refused, and so is a fourth grade.
