Setting up tag categories

In Surpass, you can attach metadata (known as ‘tags’) to items and then use these tags to organise items when authoring content, creating tests, and viewing results. Tags are made up of ‘tag groups’ and ‘tag values’. Tag groups are categorised containers for tag values.

Tag groups can be further categorised into tag categories. You can create tag categories in the Subjects screen of Setup. Tag categories are subject-specific.

This article explains how to set up tag categories in the Subjects screen of Setup, including how to edit a tag category.
