Managing Tags

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 configured tag policies for images, you need to add tags to your images based on the policies. Otherwise, tags may fail to be added. For details about image tag format, see Image Tag Format.

Constraints
