# Adding Tags

`Tags` provide a useful way to map your question text and base text to a given placeholder in a PowerPoint template. PPTX Builder provides 4 built-in `Tags`, these include:

1. `{base}`
2. `{question}`
3. `{table_name}`
4. `{statistics}`

To use these tags, simply add all, some or none of the tags to your desired `Text placeholder`. You can add them into the same or separate `Text placeholders`. 

The platform will automatically populate the given `Text placeholder` with the information associated to each tag **IF** found.

It is important to ensure you are not using a `Footer placeholder`. And of course, you need to ensure there is at least 1 `Chart placeholder` or `Content placeholder` (no tags needed for this) For question and base text, the tool is going to use whatever font size, color, type etc. is set in the placeholder
