12 Managing tags #
Tags are used to label specific objects with location, owner, etc. The objects can be hosts, clusters, databases or SAP systems. Tags make it easier to distinguish and show all these different objects, making your lists more readable and searchable. You can use any text you like to create your tags except blank spaces and special characters other than + - = . , _ : and @.
