What is Tagging?

Tagging is when you add words or phrases as metadata to Content(Media, Layouts) and Players. Tags are not visible when the content displayed, nor are viewers aware they’re being used. 

Tags are used for keeping your content organized, searchable, automating content distribution, and grouping Players.

  • Tags can be added to all content as it is being imported to Korbyt
    • Adding the same tags to all content on the import
    • Manual and Courier importing can add bulk tags in this way
  • Once in Korbyt Tags can be added to items 1 piece of content at a time
  • The Tag Manager can also be used to evaluate and track Tag Usage, as well as Tag multiple Items at Once
