Set Up Tank Tags
Tank "tags" provide you with a means of identifying and categorizing your tanks based on criteria of your own choosing. For instance, you may want to keep track of tanks with missing lids or no gauge. Tags can be used to do this sort of thing. There are three tags available per tank.
Using tags is typically a two step process: One is to decide on the type of tags you want to use and assign them to the appropriate tanks. The second step is to use the filters in the Tank Reports to select the tagged tanks and print a report.
For example, let's say you want to identify all of your tanks without lids. You decide to use Tank Tag 1 to do this by entering a "1" for those that do not have a lid. Then, to get a report of tanks needing lids, run a tank report filtering on those tanks with a "1" in the associated Tank Tag 1.
This process begins by finding the account containing the tank you're looking for.
STEP ONE . . . Find and tag the appropriate tanks
1. Find the account with the tank you want to add a tag to by using one of the following:

STEP TWO . . . Print a report of the tagged tanks
From the Lynx Main Menu . . .
1. On the Menu Bar, left-click on Reports or left-click the

There's also a third way to print service graphs. On the Menu Bar, left-click on Tanks and then left-click on Tank and Equipment Reports.
4. The Choose a Tank Report window will now be displayed. As you left-click on each Report ID or Report Name, the description of that report will be shown in the box above.
5. Double-left-click the report you want (or left-click the report and then left-click the 
button).
6. This will display the Format a Tank Report window.
7. Left-click the appropriate check box 
next to the Tag Tag you want to filter on.
8. Then key in the Tank Tag value (a "1" in the above example) in BOTH the 
and 
fields.
- What this will do in our example is to select only those tanks that have a value of "1" in the Tank Tag 1 field for this report. Tanks that have some other value (or no value) in this field will not be included.
9. Once you've done this, left-click the 
button to preview the report on your screen.
10. After your report has appeared on the Print Preview window, you can left-click the print button 
to print the report or left-click the
