# Variant tagging widget

Variant tags are shown in the Variant tagging widget of the [Variant page Top bar](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/variant_page/variant_page_top_bar).

When a variant is tagged by a user, the user's tag is displayed in the tag field. If the variant is only tagged by AI Shortlist and not by a user, the tag AI Shortlist is displayed. If a variant has not been tagged, the tag is shown as N/A.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** After a case [reanalysis](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/editing_an_existing_case), all variants appear as not viewed.
{% endhint %}

A variant can be tagged by the AI Shortlist or a user as:

* Most Likely Candidate - most promising for solving the case
* Candidate - worth considering
* [Incidental](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/launching-analysis/creating_a_single_case/secondary_findings) - meets the ACMG criteria for reporting secondary findings
* Carrier - identified by the Carrier analysis pipeline
* In Report - manually selected to be reported
* Not relevant - automatically tagged variant that has been disregarded after manual review
* Any custom tag used in your organization (e.g., Submitted for Sanger confirmation)
