Tags

You can add tags to entities to organize them.

Tags v.s. taxonomies

Taxonomies are structured tags that you can apply to entities.

Use tags for quickly labelling entities. Use taxonomies when you need to organize your entities with a system of tags.

Tag entities

You can add tags to an entity in the entity detail pane:

1. Open an entity in the entity builder.

   In the left navigation bar, go to > GO TO SEARCH AND BROWSE > Entities and select an entity from the list.

2. Scroll to the Tags section.

   

3. Select the Tags box, and start typing.

   It displays a list of existing tags that match your typed text. Select an existing tag to add it, or press ENTER to add your typed text as a new tag.

You can also add tags to an entity when editing an entity in the entity builder. In an open entity, select Edit ().

Remove a tag by selecting X to the left of that tag.
