Create and manage a set of tags

  • Article

This article describes how to create and manage a set of tags in Microsoft Fabric. The target audience is Fabric administrators who want to create and manage such a set in their organization.

For more information about tags, see Tags in Microsoft Fabric.

As a Fabric administrator, you can:

  • Create a set of tags that users in your organization can use to categorize their Fabric items.

  • Rename tags. If desired or necessary, you can rename a tag. When you rename a tag, its name changes wherever it has been applied.

  • Delete a tag If you decide that a tag isn't needed, you can delete it from the set of tags you defined. When you delete a tag from the set of defined tags, the tag is removed from all the items it's been applied to.

Prerequisites

You must have a Fabric administrator role or higher to be able to create, rename, or delete tags.

Create a set of tags

This section shows how to create a set of one or more tags.

  1. Open the admin portal and select Tags (preview).

    The Tags tab opens. All currently defined tags are listed on the tab.

  2. Select + New tag. If no tags have been defined yet, select Add your first tags.

  3. In the dialog that appears, provide names for your new tags. Use comma-separated names to create more than one tag at a time. Up to 10,000 tags can be created in a tenant.

    Tag names can contain:

    • Letters
    • Numbers
    • Spaces (not at the beginning of the tag)
    • Special characters (the name can't consist solely of special characters; it must also contain letters and/or numbers)

  4. When done, select Create. The new tags are added to the set of tags.

Rename a tag

  1. Open the admin portal and select Tags (preview).
