Keywording using a hierarchy

I am a newbie and have just started keywording my pictures. I have started setting up a hierarchy of terms such as a state > city > location. However, when I assign keywords to the pictures I have to choose all three terms, not just the lowest one and have the upper two terms automatically assigned. Is this a standard situation in having to choose each keyword or is there a shortcut/method to choosing the lowest and having the upper ones also assigned/tagged. This would seem logical. If I do a search for a state, I would also like all the locations within that state to also be identified. It would be more expeditious if I could just select the location and have the upper city and state automatically assigned. Anyone with advice?

I found my own answer. After some more searching on google, I finally found my answer. For anyone else reading this, in the keywording tab (not keyword list), click on the drop down arrows adjacent to "Enter keywords" and choose "Keywords and containing keywords". Now when i choose the location, the picture is also tagged with the upper two keywords for city and state. So I only have to tag the picture with the lowest keyword and the higher keywords are also added. To give credit where credit is due, i found it on http://lightroomsecrets.com.

In Adobe Bridge, how can I display keywords in their hierarchy, do an "aka" keyword assignment, and perform multi-value keyword searches?

Hi Bridge Geniuses!
I need your help. I am using Bridge to sort and keyword a pretty big photo archive. I have created a pretty long nested hierarchy (4 layers deep, max) and, for a few reasons, would like the parent tags to be automatically included when I indicate a sub-tag. The problem I have now is that the keyword list is distractingly long and organized alphabetically. My first question is this: is there a preference setting in Bridge that will ask the program to display the keywords in their hierarchy? That is, will Bridge present the list as, for example, cars à hybrids à Toyotas à Prius.
My second question is: if I have two or more names that represent the same keyword, is there an “aka” function in this program that will allow me to direct searches for two or more different words to the same keyword entry? (For example, if I want my searches for “Bruce Wayne” to also show entries marked as “Batman.”)
Finally, I would like to know if Bridge will perform keyword searches for more than one word at a time. So far, I have tried entering two keywords with overlap at a time, separated by a space or a comma or a semicolon, and the search comes up empty.
Thank you very much for your help!

I reset my custom workspace and all seems to be well now. My keywords now show, the number of photos each applies to and I can again search.
Thank you.

How to revise keyword list new hierarchy

My present keyword list is just a list of words with no hierarchy. After exporting as a text file, it was noted that many single words have the brackets around them, e.g. [cat] rather than just plain cat. How did this happen? Can I delete my present list and import a "clean" list? How can I create a hierarchy with my present list? Reference to a tutorial or manual would be great. Thanks.

If you have a list of words with no hierarchy, such as the one below:
geography
Europe
Italy
Campagnia
Mount Vesuvius
Naples
Pompeii
and if you export the keyword list to a file, and edit the hierarchy as follows:
geography
    Europe
        Italy
            Campagnia
                Mount Vesuvius
                Naples
                Pompeii
everything would be fine if you did not have any photos associated to these keywords to begin with, but if all of the keywords in the flat list of keywords were already associated to photos, then after importing the keyword list, the keywords in Lightroom would appear as follows:
geography
geography
     Europe
         Italy
             Campagnia
                 Mount Vesuvius
                 Naples
                 Pompeii
Europe
Italy
Campagnia
Mount Vesuvius
Naples
Pompeii
That's because Lightroom stores the full path of a keyword hierarchy when that keyword is associated to a photo.
Based on the above hierarchy, the keyword "Pompeii" can be associated to a photo in the following ways:
Pompeii > Campagnia > Italy > Europe > geography
or
Pompeii
So if you already had photos that had the keyword "Pompeii" associated from the flat list of words, this keyword is different from the keyword "Pompeii > Campagnia > Italy > Europe > geography" and there would not be any photos associated to this last one.
All this said, if a hierarchy is to be changed, it is best to do so within Lightroom itself, by drag and drop, and not by doing an export/import of the keyword list.
Also note that when considering keyword hierarchies, it is best to only assign the keyword that is at the bottom of the hiearchy to your photos, as the ones above will automatically be inherited.
As for the brackets around keywords when you export a keyword list, they mean the following:
The square bracket [ ] around a keyword means that the "Include on Export" is not checked in the Keyword Tag options of the keyword; this keyword will not be included in the export of photos that have this keyword associated to them. The other special character used is curly brackets { } which define synonyms of a keyword. A hierarchy is simply defined by adding a tab for each level of the hierarchy.
Here's an example:
[geography]          - this keyword will not be included in exported photos (its purpose is just to organize the hierarchy)
    Europe
        Italy
            Campagnia
                Mount Vesuvius
                Naples
                Pompeii
sport                    - while this keyword is also for organization of the hierarchy,
                              it has more value and I decided that it should export with photos
    running
        3km
        5km
        first race
        half marathon
    soccer
        {football}          - this is a synonym for the word soccer
So the square brackets [ ] have nothing to do with the hierarchy; it simply indicates wether you want that keyword to be exportable or not.
Finally, a good use of the export/import keyword list is to add or remove these brackets, add synonyms to existing keywords, or add new keywords to the hierarchy, but NOT change an existing hierarchy or create one based on existing keywords.
Hope this helps!

Using a hierarchy but also showing work orders that are not in hierarchy

good morning bi people,
i have a requirement to show data from a hierarchy which includes Operation and Maintenance information. for example it has an account broken into labour/material/trucking and below this is the pm acivity type and secondary cost element (concatenated). this hierarchy is a manually created hierarchy that is uploaded to BW and is not in ECC. The users do not want to see the concatenated field at the end of the hierarchy, but instead, want to see the Work Orders that have the PM activity types.
At the present time, we have the report using the hierarchy but we need the work orders to replace the pm activity type/secondary cost element concatenated field. the work order field is a free characteristic and when we drag in the work order in analyzer, it works correctly.
1) is this possible to use the hierarchy and somehow map the work order field to the end of the hierarchy within crystal?
2) do you have a suggestion to change the hierarchy, without being a manual nightmare?
all conversations are welcome.
Erik

Good Day Ingo,
i have created a word document with screen shots of the hierarchy from BW, a screen shot of the BEx showing the free characteristic of Maintenance Order and a screen shot of the crystal report with the PM Activity type concatenated to the Cost Element. Once again, we do not wish to see the concatenated field, but rather see the Maintenance orders that have a PM Activity type the same as the concatenated field.
here is the link.

How to use Vendor Hierarchy in Vendor Rebate Agreements

Hi Friends,
I need to use vendor hierarchy in vendor rebates agreements.
Here are some inputs from my end so far I have done:
Customizing Settings for vendor hierarchy and rebate agreement (agreement type 3000 and condition types A003/ A004) have been done.
While creating the PO after creating rebate agreement (MEB1) I am able to see all higher partner functions (2A,2B,2C,2D) at header level in PO under partners.
I have (say ) 3 vendors V1, V2, V3 (V1 being highest) set up in vendor hierarchy (MKH1).
My requirement is; if my company make any rebate agreement with vendor at any node below the highest in the vendor hierarchy then that business volume should be taken in consideration for rebate purpose with the vendor at higher level while making any agreement with him.
I request you to please let me know how to set up this.

Hi lvshaolong,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I believe I have not misunderstood the business scenario.
But may I request you to tell me the process steps for the senario you told which is "Normally , you define condition with highest node in hierachy and then you can refer to it when you do biz with the lower nodes". How vendor rebate process takes place this scenarion (I mean process flow).
This might help me to find some solution further.
More input from my end:
When I am creating the PO against a vendor included in the vendor hierarchy(after agreement), rabate condiion A003 or A004 is not appearing in pricing and hence during BV comparison,system does not find any data to update.

Munish

Using different hierarchy in a query and last value error

Hi guys,
there is a hierarchy for customers in the 0Customer Infoobject which I should use in my query.
I have activated the hierarchy in the query and now some results are not appearing but red crosses "x" are shown.
And the error message: The function Calculate Results as ... could not be applied everywhere.
I know that I am using the result as "last value" for some columns because I need them there (for example: to determine the last value for the credit limit of the current month). I think these columns where I am using the last value calculation are only affected.
I mean my query has a lot of characteristics and key figures and I was told that a hiearchy for customers which is available should be used. But now there are these red crosses.
I don´t see any other solution as not to use this specific hierarchy.
Has anybody a suggestion what could be an argument to use or not to use a hierarchy?
Is it sometimes like in my case that a hierarchy is not possible to use?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
say for example your customer hierarchy is customers grouped under region. You can maintain this region as one of the attribute of customer and you can display this attribute in the report. Indirectly, this will give similar output to that of hierarchy.
But lot depends on how your hierarchy is formed, before commenting whether it can be moved to master data attributes.
Thanks.

Use of hierarchy with cell definition

Hi all,
I have an issue with a query that is using cell definition in order to have different selection criteria in 2 columns.
In the cell definition, it has being defined a new selection using a hierarchy ( 0costcenter hierarchy) to filter and select the desired values, but the query result is not taking into consideration the filter with the hierarchy.
I have tested the same selection out of the cell definition and the right values are selected...
Is there any constrain in the use of hierarchies to filter values within the "cell definition"?
Many thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
I too face the same problem for cell definition with hierarchy.
As per my knowledge cell definitions are purely valid for that cell only (like MS Excel formula in a cell).
So cell definitions are possible with static reports only (with out hierarchy drill downs).
If you got any solution please let me know.
Thanks = Reward Points

Using general hierarchy of sales information system

Hi,
The sales manager uses oftenly the general hierarchy in order to sort the information that could extract from sales information system.
So, firstly he uses the tranasction MCK1 to create a hierarchy and after that he executes the transaction MCSI in order to extract sales information.
So my question is, how can use the hierarchy in a abap program? I want to offer the hierarchy as selection parameter.
     Thank for your cooperation
                 Best Regards
                       João Fernandes

Hi,
Thank you for your answer but my question has not been answered.
The hierarchies i am talking are in table MCSHIERK. When i use program RGSEX000 i can not use the hierarchies of table MCSHIERK.
Can you give me somo more information now?
                Best Regards

Assigning "hierarchical" keywords using Batch Change or Metadata Preset

Part of my keywording structure looks like this:
Men
     Basketball
     Golf
     etc.
Women
     Basketball
     Golf
     etc.
I know that true hierarchical keywords don't exist in Aperture. But when I assign keywords using the Keyword Controls or dragging from the HUD, the parent (men or women) is "attached" so you can search for the one you want.
I want to be able to assign the proper keywords using Batch Change or in a metadata preset during import. But I have yet to find a way to do this. Is there some hidden syntax for this? Or is it one of those impossible things in Aperture's current (and rather limited) keyword handling?

You're welcome.
A second copy of the iPhoto library on a second drive is always good. I once lost my backup drive and the system drive at the same time, because a lightning caused a power surge that killed both my macs system drive and the connected backup drive. I was lucky to have a bootable clone of the system drive as a second backup.
I like this version of the quote you cited:
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again.

How to filter based on two keywords (using And)?

Something that seems so simple but I just can't figure it out.
I've added keywords to a lot of my photos. Now I want to find all the keywords that match multiple pictures -- like with Snow AND Tree.
When I select multiple keywords using shift, it builds a filter Snow OR Tree instead of what I want, Snow AND Tree.
How do I build up a filter based on multiple keywords with AND logic?
And along the same train of thought, I imagine someday I might want to even build on this and say Nature is synonymous with Tree or Lake... and then build a filter based on Nature AND Snow. Is this possible?
Sorry for such an obvious question and thanks in advance.
Love Lightroom so far, in the 2 days I've played with it and see it as finally being a way to quickly and easily organize and manage my photos.
Ron

For NOT it works if you do the following:
1. Select keyword (e.g foo) to find photos with just that keyword
2. Ctrl + A to select all
3. Go to All Photogrpahs in the Library (selection will be maintained)
4. Go to Edit -> Invert Selection
This should leave you with all photos without 'foo'.
Works for me (Windows XP).

Add IPTC Keywords using Photoshop CS3 and Applescript

Hello I'm looking for the applescript command to set IPTC keywords using Photoshop CS3.
thanks for your help

The Man Page gives me this info on the read/write/create capabilities:
EXIFTOOL(1)           User Contributed Perl Documentation          EXIFTOOL(1)
NAME
       exiftool - Read and write meta information in files
SYNOPSIS
       exiftool [OPTIONS] [-TAG...] [--TAG...] FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-<]=[VALUE]... FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -tagsFromFile SRCFILE [-SRCTAG[>DSTTAG]...] FILE...
       exiftool [ -ver | -list[w|f|wf|g[NUM]|d|x] ]
       For specific examples, see the EXAMPLES sections below.
DESCRIPTION
       A command-line interface to Image::ExifTool, used for reading and writ-
       ing meta information in image, audio and video files. FILE is a source
       file name, directory name, or "-" for the standard input. Information
       is read from the source file and output in readable form to the console
       (or written to an output text file with the -w option).
       To write or copy information, new values are specified with the
       -TAG=[VALUE] syntax or the -tagsFromFile or -geotag options. This
       causes FILE to be rewritten, and by default the original file is pre-
       served with "_original" appended to the file name. (Be sure to verify
       that the new file is OK before erasing the original.) Once in write
       mode, exiftool will ignore any read-specific options.
       Below is a list of file types and meta information formats currently
       supported by ExifTool (r = read, w = write, c = create):
