Tags provide a way to categorize and organize Templates and devices in Catalyst Center. Tags can be assigned to templates for filtering and grouping, and to devices for targeted template deployment. Applicable to both SDA fabric and non-fabric deployments.

Example 1: Basic tag creation with name and description for organizing and categorizing templates and devices in Catalyst Center:

catalyst_center:
templates:
tags:
- name: DayN_Tag
description: DayN_Tag

Example 2: Template tag assignment demonstrating how to apply tags to Day-N templates for organizational purposes, enabling filtering and management of access list templates targeting Catalyst 9300 series switches:

catalyst_center:
templates:
projects:
- name: Project_DayN
description: Project_DayN
dayn_templates:
- name: access_list_template
description: Access List Template
language: JINJA
composite: false
device_types:
- product_family: "Switches and Hubs"
product_series: "Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches"
software_type: IOS-XE
tags:
- DayN_Tag

Example 3: Device tag assignment showing how to apply multiple tags to network devices for inventory management, enabling grouping and filtering of edge nodes in fabric deployments:

catalyst_center:
inventory:
devices:
- name: EDGE02
fqdn_name: EDGE02.cisco.eu
device_ip: 198.18.130.2
pid: C9KV-UADP-8P
state: PROVISION
device_role: ACCESS
site: Global/Poland/Krakow/Bld A
fabric_site: Global/Poland/Krakow
fabric_roles:
- EDGE_NODE
tags:
- TAG1
- TAG2
