Attribute Tags

Create and maintain general or service hold tags. For example, you can create a general tag named Athlete and add it to a person profile. Also, group tags by adding tags to tag groups.

To create and maintain tags and tag groups, access the Manage Attribute Tags page. From Student Central, click Search and search for Tags.

Select General as the type to create a general tag. After creating the general tag, associate the tag with one or more tag groups. Associating a tag with a tag group makes the tag available for assignment. For example, associate a general tag with the Person Attribute tag group, so that you can assign the tag to person records.

Select Service Hold as the type to create a service hold tag. For service hold tags, you can provide this information:

  • Steps on how to resolve the hold.
  • Indicate whether the resolution can be done internally within the institution.
  • If internal, the page destination where the end user can resolve the hold and the contact who can help the end user.
  • If external, use the detailed mitigation steps to specify the contact who isn't part of your institution.

Once assigned, a tag can't be deleted or inactivated. You'll have to remove the assignment to be able to delete or inactivate the tag.
