Tag Editor

Concept

Tag Editor is a tool that is part of Resource Groups, used to find and change the tags of many resources at once. A tag is a key and value pair attached to a resource, such as key “Project” and value “Shop”. In Tag Editor you choose a Region and resource type to find resources, then add, change or delete tags on them together. Tags are also what Resource Groups use to build groups, and costs can be split by project.

Simple example

Putting colored stickers on office files — red means urgent, blue means accounts.

Why it’s needed

Tags show which project a resource belongs to, who owns it, and which bill it goes to. Adding them one by one takes a lot of time.

Where it’s used

Adding “Project” and “Owner” tags to all resources, seeing costs split by project.

Remember

Tag = a resource’s label, Tag Editor = a tool for adding many labels at once.
