Tags can help you organize your managed instances and databases. While you can still create a tag within any IDERA product supporting that functionality, tags created in the IDERA Dashboard can be used in other IDERA SQL products. Create, import, view, edit, and delete tags and their associated instances and databases using the Manage Tags action.

To access tag management in the IDERA Dashboard, either select Manage Tags from the Administration menu or click Manage Tags on the Administration view of the IDERA Dashboard.
