Tagging an Image

Scenarios

You can use tags to classify images. You can add, modify, or delete image tags, or search for required images by tag in the image list.

• When adding predefined tags to an image or searching for an image using predefined tags, you must have permission to access the Tag Management Service (TMS).
• If your organization has pre-configured tag policies for images, you need to add tags to your images based on the policies. If you do not comply with the tag policies, images may fail to be created. Contact the organization administrator to learn more about the tag policies.
  • Each tag consists of a key and a value. The key contains a maximum of 36 characters, and the value contains a maximum of 43 characters. The key cannot be left blank or be an empty character string. The value cannot be left blank but can be an empty character string.
  • An image can have a maximum of 10 tags.
