Categorize a Label Template or Other Object

In Loftware Enterprise SP, users can categorize certain objects by assigning tags to them. Each tag has a category and a value. A tag can be assigned to an application, business rule, data service, device group, facility, field data catalog, form, image, integration, label template, layer object, layout, process, Remote Site, reusable object, user, or workflow template. If an object is version-controlled, you can only add or change tags assigned to the current checked-out version, and you cannot change tags in a previously checked-in version.

Note: If a label template or other object is version controlled, you must check it out before you can assign tags or change which tags are assigned. Each version of the object can have different tags applied. However, you cannot change the tags applied in a previous version of an object.
