Option Description
Category Name
The category name must be unique to the currently-selected vCenter
Server system.
Description
You can provide text in the description to describe the purpose or usage of
the category.
Cardinality
n
Select 1 tag per object to allow only one tag from this category to be
applied to an object at any one time.
Use this option for categories whose tags are mutually exclusive. For
example, a category called Priority with tags High, Medium, and Low
should allow one tag per object, because an object should have only
one priority.
n
Select Many tags per object to allow multiple tags from the category to
be applied to an object at any one time.
Use this option for categories whose tags are not mutually exclusive.
After you have set the cardinality of a category, you can change the
cardinality from 1 tag per object to Many tags per object, but not from
Many tags per object to 1 tag per object.
Associable Object Types
Select whether tags in this category can be assigned to all objects or only to
a specic type of managed object, such as virtual machines or datastores.
After you have set the associable object types for a category, you can
change a category that is associable with a single object type to be
associable with all object types, but you cannot restrict a category that is
associable to all object types to being associable to a single object type.
