Using Tags

In TIBCO Control Plane, you can apply tags to data planes, capabilities, and apps deployed in data plane. By using tags, you can label and organize your data planes, capabilities, and apps. For example, use tags to group your apps by department or by connections to the same systems. One or more tags can be added to the same app.

Before you begin
  • You must have Application Manager permission. For more information, refer Permissions.

Adding Tags

To add or change tags use the following steps:

    Procedure
  1. Navigate to the Data Plane, Capability, or App details page depending on where you want to apply tags.

  2. If no tags are already applied, click +Tags, in the upper left of the page. If tags are already applied, click the tags displayed in the upper left of the page.

    • To add a new tag, enter a name in the search control, then click Create New. Tags are case-sensitive.
    • If you enter text in the search box, all matching tags are shown. This search is case-insensitive. Click a tag to add it.
    • Click the X next to a tag to remove it.
  3. Click outside the dialog to save the tags.

The same set of tags is used across your subscription. A tag is deleted when it is removed from the last app using it.
