 You can create policy tags and assign them to:

For a suggested tagging strategy, see Tagging-recommendations-and-examples. To create or manage tag groups and tags from the Service Blueprint workspace, see Managing-service-blueprint-tags.

    The Tag Details dialog box is displayed, and the table lists the tag groups and tags that are currently associated to the object that you are tagging.

    The macro unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup from Confluence is no longer available.

  2. From the dropdnarrow.gifmenu next to Tag Group, select a tag group.

  4. Click Add.
     The selected tag group and tag are added to the table.
  5. Click Save.

The tag is assigned to the object from which you launched the Tag Details dialog box. The tag name followed by the tag group in brackets is added to the Tags field for the object (for example: SLA[Gold]).
