Use Tags

To help you manage your resources, such as Connections, Formats, Listeners, Flows, and Schedules, you can optionally assign your own metadata to each resource in the form of tags. This article describes tags and shows you how to create them.

Tag Basics

Tags enable you to categorize your Etlworks Integrator resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each resource can have multiple tags assigned. This is useful when you have many resources of the same type — you can quickly identify a specific resource based on the tags you've assigned to it. Each tag consists of a key that you define. Using a consistent set of tags makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can group-by and filter the resources based on the tags you add.

How to Tag a resource

When editing resources, such as a Connection, Format, Listener, Flow or Schedule, select or type in a tag name, and press Enter.

How to remove the Tag from a resource

When editing a resource, such as a Connection, Format, Listener, Flow or Schedule, and wish to remove a tag, click X in front of the tag name.

How to group resources by assigned Tags

When you are in a grid displaying resources, such as Connections, Formats, Listeners, Flows, or Schedules, click Enable Tags View.

To switch back to the grid view, click the same button again.

How to display Tags only

Click Account at the top of the screen, click Preferences, then select Expandable tags.

Any grid that contains tags will then collapse to the tags only view.

How to filter by Tags

When you are in a grid displaying resources, such as Connections, Formats, Listeners, Flows, or Schedules, select one or more tags from the tags drop-down.
