Tagging Objects 6
In vRealize Orchestrator, you can make workows and other URI objects more searchable by aaching tags
to them.
Tags are strings with length between 3 and 64 characters and must contain no white spaces. Global tags are
visible to all Orchestrator users and private tags are visible only to the user who created them. Only users
with administrative pivileges can create and remove global tags.
You can assign values to the tags that you create. A tag value is an optional parameter which you can use to
lter tags.
You can manage object tags by using the Orchestrator scripting API or by running the workows in the
Tagging package of the Library plug-in. For information about tagging through the Orchestrator scripting
API and the Orchestrator REST API, see Developing a Web Services Client for VMware vRealize Orchestrator.
