Manage Asset Tags

You can add your own custom tags to your data assets to categorize them. This can help you to search, filter, and sort your assets.

Create a Tag

You can type in your own custom tag values to categorize your assets, including data assets that your partners granted to you.

Procedure. To create a tag and apply it to the selected asset:

Go to the All Assets page and choose an asset that you want to tag.
From the asset's More Options menu (), select Add or Remove Tags. The Add or Remove Tags dialog is displayed.
Start typing the alphanumeric string you want to tag the asset. If the tag already exists, select it. If it does not yet exist, click Add As a New Tag.
Tip
Tag names support alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), dashes (-), and dots (.). Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.
You can create, add, and delete multiple tags. When you are done, click Apply.
Any new tags are created and applied to the asset.

Apply a Tag to an Asset

Once you've created a tag, you can select it from your list of tags and apply it to an asset. You can apply as many tags as you need to an asset.

Procedure. To apply an existing tag to an asset:

Go to the All Assets page and choose an asset that you want to tag.
From the asset's More Options menu (), select Add or Remove Tags. The Add or Remove Tags dialog is displayed.
Start typing the tag. When the tag is displayed, select its check box and then click Apply.

Remove a Tag from an Asset

You can use the Add or Remove Tags dialog to remove a tag from an asset. If you want to delete a tag, you must first remove it from any assets it is applied to.

Procedure. To remove a tag from an asset:

Go to the All Assets page and choose an asset from which you want to remove a tag.
From the asset's More Options menu (), select Add or Remove Tags. The Add or Remove Tags dialog is displayed.
Click the tag's X to remove the tag from the asset and then click Apply.

Filter Assets Using a Tag

Once you apply tags to your assets, you can select one or more tags from the Tags list to display that subset of assets.

Procedure. To filter assets based on tags:

Go to the All Assets page. The Tags column shows any existing tags.
Use the Tag filter to select the assets you want to view based on the selected tag.
Select the tags you want to filter by.
Assets are displayed based on the selected tag.

Delete a Tag

You can only delete tags that are not applied to any assets. You can edit each asset to remove the tag you want to delete.

Procedure. To delete a tag:

Go to the All Assets page.
From the asset's More Options menu (), select Add or Remove Tags. The Add or Remove Tags dialog is displayed.
Click Manage All Tags. The Manage Tags page is displayed. If the tag you want to delete does not have a zero in parentheses after its text, you first have to remove it from any assets.
From the tag's More Options menu (), select Delete and then click Done.
