Here's everything you need to know about Tags!
What is a Tag?
Tags are unique identifiers that can be attached to an item for a specific function or reporting purpose. Tags in general are used to group specific items into one reporting category. You can create as many unique tags that you need for reporting purposes. In addition, items can have more than one tag. If you'd like to know more about how tags can be beneficial in reporting, please see How Tags Can be Utilized in Reporting.
💡 There are also a few tags that function for specific utility needs, for more details about them please see Functional Tags.
How can I view the Tags for my items?
In order to view the tags for a specific item within Creator, simply navigate to the item you are looking for and pull up the item editor. The tags associated with the item can be found below the POS ID field within the item editor.
