3. From the menu next to Tag, select a tag.
   
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]).
