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

Global versus local tags

Tags created in IDERA Dashboard 3.0.x and later are known as global tags and are available to all products that are integrated with that version of IDERA Dashboard. Local tags are available only within the IDERA product in which they are created.

When you assign a global tag to an instance or database, you must wait for the synchronization job to run before the tag is available in all other IDERA products. The synchronization job runs every 15 minutes by default.
