# Do Not Process Data Fields

When you select **"Do Not Process Data Fields"** as your modeling method, EasyEdge will **not create any Tags automatically**. This method is intended for users who want full control over how each Tag is defined and bound to data.

#### 🔍 What It Means

* The **Data Fields** from your Asset Driver will still be available.
* However, the **Tags panel will be empty**. No Tag is pre-generated.
* You will need to **manually create** each Tag and bind it to one or more Data Fields using expressions.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since no automatic mapping is applied, the Tags panel starts empty.
{% endhint %}

#### ✍️ Use Case

Choose this option if you want to:

* Build a **custom data structure** or follow a unique naming convention
* Apply **advanced calculations** using multiple Data Fields in a single Tag
* Maintain **fine-grained control** over which Tags are created and how they're used in the project

***

✅ **Best for:** Advanced users and complex integrations where pre-mapped Tags are not suitable.
