The Tags configuration allows you to define flexible categorization and filtering criteria used throughout Integration Cockpit for organizing interfaces by business domain, risk level, technology stack or deployment characteristics.
Purpose: Define tag categories and values for flexible interface classification, enabling business-aligned filtering, reporting segmentation and dashboard organization across all Integration Cockpit modules.
Navigate to Settings → Configuration → Tags to manage your tag category definitions and values.
For detailed guidance on tag configuration, see 2.1.2 Tags in the Onboarding Guide.

Tag Usage Throughout Integration Cockpit
Tag definitions are used across Integration Cockpit for:
-
Interface Classification → Apply tags during interface enrichment and To-do workflows
-
Dashboard Inventory → Display interface counts filtered by tag categories and values
-
Reporting Filters → Filter views by tag combinations (Domain + Criticality, etc.)
-
Catalog Organization → Group and search interfaces using tag-based criteria
-
End-to-End Integrations → Tag complete integration flows for business alignment
-
Transformation Rules → Apply tags automatically during data source processing
Best practice: Start with the core three tag categories (Domain, Criticality, Brand/Division) to establish business alignment. Add optional tags only when they represent meaningful classification criteria that support your integration governance workflows.
Tag Configuration Requirements

-
Dashboard Inventory panels (see Settings → Configuration → Dashboard → Inventory)
-
To-do enrichment workflows (see Settings → Configuration → To-do → Tags)
-
Interface catalog filtering and search operations
-
Reporting and analytics dashboards
