Assigning a tag to an object

When used in policies, tags and tag groups help to determine the placement of user-requested services within the cloud.
 You can create policy tags and assign them to:

Service blueprints can be tagged at many levels. For information about tagging service blueprints, see Service-blueprint-tag-selections-in-policies.

For more information and a suggested tagging strategy, see Policy management overview and Creating-policies.

Before you begin

Before you can assign a tag to an object, you must create tag groups and tags, as described in Creating and using tags and tag groups.

To assign a policy tag to an object

1. When creating or editing one of the taggable objects, click the tag icon . 
    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.
   Warning

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

2. From the menu next to Tag Group, select a tag group.
   
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]).
