When managing digital assets, having the right organizational structure in place makes all the difference. Lytho offers three key features — Tags, Custom Fields, and AI Search — to help you organize and locate assets efficiently. Each serves a unique purpose, ensuring that you can easily retrieve the content you need based on structured metadata, flexible categorization, or natural language search. Below is a breakdown of these three features, their use cases, and when to use each. 


TABLE OF CONTENTS



Tags: The Structured Backbone

Tags provide a predefined, structured way to categorize assets. They are ideal when you have a set taxonomy and need consistency across your organization.

  • Best For: Categorizing assets using a controlled, fixed list of terms.
  • Use Case: Perfect for situations where assets fall into well-defined categories, such as patient types, medical conditions, or content themes.
  • Examples: Patient, Senior/Adult/Child, Recovery, Exercise, Post-Op, Rehabilitation

Custom Fields: The Flexible Option

Custom Fields allow you to add metadata beyond predefined tags. When you need to track unique or evolving data points, Custom Fields offer the flexibility to create open-ended fields tailored to your needs.

  • Best For: Organizing assets with unique identifiers or when you need to track metadata that doesn’t fit into standard tags.
  • Use Case: Useful for adding specific attributes such as names of doctors, campaign IDs, or other project-specific details.
  • Examples: Doctor's Name, Location, Project Number

AI Search: The Efficient Way to Find What You Need

AI Search helps you locate assets quickly by understanding natural language queries. It removes the need for perfect tagging and enables intuitive, conversational searches.

  • Best For: Quickly finding assets when you may not know the exact tags or metadata used.
  • Use Case: Great for searching based on descriptive phrases, scenarios, or broad concepts.
  • Examples: “Senior adults walking after knee replacement surgery,” “Happy patient exercising after operation.”
