more easily.

When you click a tag, the list of values expands below the tag. The number of applications associated with

also use the toolbar buttons above the tag list to collapse and expand application tag branches, clear all
selected application tags, and manage tags.
3 Click the tag value.
The applications with that tag value appear in the right pane.
4 Select the application from the list.
