What do the letter and number mean?

When looking at multiple tags simultenaously, Listadum sometimes displays the compact view of the grid. Each tag comes with:

• a color
• a letter from A to H
• a digit from 1 to 8

This notation is a representation of where the tag will fall on the grid. A1 being the top left corner and H8 being the bottom right corner of the quadrants.

This way at a glance and without having to open the quadrants for each tag, you can know where it would fall relative to other tags.
