What Are Tags
Tags allow you to classify spaces using multiple parallel hierarchies, rather than a single Department for better Space structure & categorization. By default only 'Department' comes as a tag, you can however, define & customize as many new Tag Categories as required such as, Building, Phase, Specialty, etc. Each space can have one tag per category
