User Interface: Tag Management

The following options for creating and deleting a tag category can be configured in System System Management > Tag Management.

Tip: To assign a tag to an object or to change the value of an assigned tag, see Categorize an Object. Tags 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.
