Create a Tag (version 6.3.3 and beyond)

Tags are used to relate elements to each other for purposes of identifying similar Reports/Charts allowing a more in-depth analysis of trends. Tags are also used to filter and/or group elements on the Homepage Main Panel.

Tags are one of the customizable Pick Lists that provide the ability to create a new value "on the fly" while in the process of defining or managing an element. A new Tag may be required if none of the existing values meet the needs of the Element being defined. The same function may be used to edit or delete an existing Tag.

In 6.3.3, the Governed Tags functions have been replaced by a more comprehensive object, Glossary. See Create a Glossary Item.
