Configure Multiple Tags
About this task
Before you begin the configuration of multiple tags, know the following:
- When you select multiple tags, only the common properties will be displayed in the DETAILS section.
- The configuration values displayed in the DETAILS section will be of the last tag that is selected. However, the properties you update will be applied to all the other selected tags.
- When you configure multiple tags, only the configured properties are updated, and all the other properties remain unchanged.
- When you select multiple tags, aliases are disabled.
The table below provides the properties that will be disabled based on the selection
of different tag data types.
