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 is displayed, nor are viewers aware they’re being used.
Tags are used for keeping your content organized, making it 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 Asset Manager can also be used to evaluate and track Tag Usage, as well as Tag multiple Items at Once

Controlling Tags
By default, any tags are allowed in Korbyt.
Meaning that as content is tagged the person doing the tagging can enter any text they want.
A list of current tags in the system will be suggested based on what is typed, but nothing limits the tags.
Optionally, tags can be locked in the system so that only Tenant Administrators and Administrators have the ability to create the tags.
After they are created, they are available to other users through a Drop-Down list experience rather than freely entering text.
