Tag type management

Tag types are a central pillar in tag validation. A tag’s tag type will define which attribute each tag may have, and also define the expected format for a tag’s unique tag ID.

To manage the tag types for an asset, either click on the “Manage asset tag types” menu option for a specific asset in the assets page, or, when in the context of a project, click on the “Tag types” option on the homepage.
