Managing Defined Tags for Multiple Resources

You can add, update, and remove multiple defined tags for multiple existing resources by using Tenancy Explorer.

To manage defined tags for a resource, you must have permission to use the namespace. See Required Permissions for Working with Defined Tags. For more information about how tagging works and tagging concepts, see Overview of Tagging.

    1. Open the navigation menu  and select Governance & Administration. Under Tenancy Management, select Tenancy Explorer.
    2. Select the resources whose tags you want to update. Optionally, use the Filter by resource type drop-down menu to narrow the list of resources.
    3. From the Actions menu, select Manage Tags.

      The Manage Tags panel opens. The first table displays the tags currently applied to the selected resources. The second table displays the selected resources.

    4. To add one or more defined tags to the resources: Under the table of existing tags, select Additional Tag and enter the following information:
      • Namespace: Select the tag namespace to use.
      • Key: Select a key that’s associated with the tag namespace.
      • Value: Enter a value or select one from the list. Values are case sensitive.
    5. To update one or more of the defined tags: Find the tag that you want to update and enter a new value. For Action, select Apply tag to all selected resources.
    6. To remove one or more of the defined tags: In the list of tags, find the tag that you want to remove. For Action, select Remove tag from all selected resources.
    7. When you’re done managing tags, select Next.
    8. Confirm changes, and then select Submit.

      The Work Request page launches to show you the status of the work request to add, update, or delete the tags for the resources.
