Tags
ADOC provides you with a Tags page to manage tags. ADOC provides you with a few out of the box tags which are applied to assets based on a regular expression condition match. You can create your own custom tags with regular expressions that match your organization requirements.
Tags Assets Tab
You have the ability to create tags for the following:

Domains
ADOC's Manage Tags domain function lets users categorize tags e.g. finance, personal, or AI. It improves tag visibility and management by enabling tags to be added to domains during creation and associating existing tags with domains. These tags then appear grouped under their respective domains on the discover and data performance pages, as well as at the column level on the profile page.

| Created at | The exact date and time when the tag domain was initially created and saved in the system. |
| Updated at | This indicates the most recent date and time when the policy or asset was modified. |
