A Tag is a term or keyword you can add to training items administered within Absorb LMS.  Tags can be applied to all Course types, Global Resources, Billboards, and Collaborations. 

Tags are an easy way to build relationships between content available in the system.  Tags make it easier for both Admins and Users to find assets in the LMS by receiving better return results for system searches.

You can also use Tags to filter and group content together in the Catalog and the My Courses page.  Admins can use Tag values to filter tables, report results, and other lists within the LMS.

How to Add a Tag

Tags can be added through the Tags Report in the Absorb LMS. Access the Admin Experience, and follow the steps below to add a new Tag:

1. Click the Courses button in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Tags from the Courses menu.
3. On the Tag Report page, click Add Tag from the Actions menu.
4. On the Add Tag form, enter a name for your Tag. This is how the Tag will be identified in the LMS. Tag Names are also visible to Users in the Learner Experience. 
5. Click Save.
