I need to create my own OneNote multi-user tag

Question

I need to create my own OneNote tag with multiple states. I mean that the base flag has the states "checked" and "unverified". I need to create my own tag with a lot of states, something "in process" with ".". instead of the check mark, and preferably the fourth arrow state. Any idea how I can do this or if possible?

Answer 1

There is no way to do this, period.

There is a possible workaround.

Here is the tag:

<one:OE creationTime="2013-10-02T09:33:28.000Z" lastModifiedTime="2013-10-11T06:30:52.000Z" objectID="{6998E7A0-D98A-47DC-818A-A7494BE7140A}{14}{B0}" alignment="left" quickStyleIndex="1"> <one:Tag index="1" completed="false" disabled="false" creationDate="2013-10-11T06:17:32.000Z" /> <one:T><![CDATA[Tag Text]]></one:T> </one:OE> 

As you can see, this is wrapped in OE, and the tag text is in <one:T> CData. The index is associated with a TagDef at the top of the page, and this indicates the symbol / TagType

What you can do is add meta information to the surrounding OE, you can add an unlimited number of them, for example:

 <one:Meta name="TAG_PROGRESS" content="0.8" /> // 80% 

Everything will be very funny if there are more than one tag in the loop.

And the fact is that OneNote will not use this information or visualize it in any way, so you need a separate application or add-on to interact with your meta-information.

There is absolutely no way to display additional tag characters on the page, you just got 143 that became standard, and the only way to define them is in TagDef. I think you could be creative and display additional images in OE, but they would not be part of the tag itself. You will need to check out OneNote XSD to find out how to legally add these additional images.
