Tagging In Korbyt
Tagging is when you add words or phrases as metadata to Content(Media, Layouts) and Players. Tags are not visible when the content is displayed, nor are viewers aware they’re being used.

Controlling / Limiting Tags
By default, any tags are allowed in Korbyt.
Meaning that as content is tagged, the person doing the tagging can enter any text they want.
A list of current tags in the system will be suggested based on what is typed, but nothing limits the tags.
Optionally, tags can be locked in the system so that only Tenant Administrators and Administrators have the ability to create the tags.
After they are created, they are available to other users through a Drop-Down list experience rather than freely entering text.
