View and edit existing tags for a selected resource

Tag Editor shows you the existing tags on selected resources that are in the results of your Find resources to tag query.

If you enabled any Tag columns as described in the previous section, you can see the current value of that tag for each resource in the search results.

Note

This topic explains how to edit the tag for an individual resource. You can also bulk edit tags for several selected resources at the same time. For more information, see Managing tags with Tag Editor.

To edit tags inline in the search results table

  1. Choose the value for the tag on the resource that you want to edit.

    Note

    • If the chosen resource currently does not have a tag with the chosen key, the value displays as (not tagged).

    • If the chosen resource does have a tag with the chosen key but without a value, the value displays as '–'.

  2. You can enter a new value or choose from any of the values already present on other resources with this tag. You can also delete the tag from this one resource by choosing Remove tag.

To view all tags for an individual resource

  1. In the results of your Find resources to tag query, choose the number in the Tags column for any resource for which you want to view existing tags. Resources with a dash in the Tags column do not have existing tags.

  2. View existing tags in Resource tags. You can also open this window by choosing Manage tags of selected resources, when you're changing or removing tags from the Manage tags page.

    Note

    If you don’t see a tag that you recently applied to a resource, try refreshing your browser window.

Export results to .csv file

You can export the results of a Find resources to tag query to a comma-separated values (.csv) file. The .csv file includes the resource names, services, Region, resource IDs, the total number of tags, and a column for each unique tag key in the collection. The .csv file can help you develop a tagging strategy for resources in your organization, or determine where there are overlaps or inconsistencies in tagging across resources.

  1. In the results of your Find resources to tag query, choose Export resources to CSV.

  2. When you're prompted by your browser, choose to open the .csv file, or save it to a convenient location.
