# Tags - Automatic Tag Assignment

You can set Chameleon-i to automatically tick parent tags for specific tag structures saving time and enhancing the tag search facility.

From the **Admin** area, go into the **Tag Manager**.  
Please note if you do not see the Admin area, you do not have Admin permissions and will need an Administrator to do this for you.

To select the **Tag structures** that you wish to have this option, ensure the **Upward Auto On** tick box is ticked in the **Update Auto On** column, and if you are ticking it then you must log out and back in to register the changes to your permissions.

Open any record and wait for the **Tag Management** window to slide in from the right-hand side.

By default, the Tag MaManagement window will go to the **Assigned** tab - click the **All Tags** tab to assign tags.

Ticking any Tier 2 or Tier 3 tags of a Tier 1 tag that has the update parent tag option selected in Admin will automatically tick the parent tag.

Note, if you are unticking a Tier 2 or Tier 3 tag, this will NOT untick the parent tag, you will have to do this manually.
