Tags can be found in the Administration module > Settings > Management tab > Tags tab. Tags can be assigned to Suppliers, Products or to Invoice Stubs. Once a Supplier Tag has been created, it can then be added to a Guided Buying Collection.
Tags allow Communities to group Suppliers by categories into Guided Buying Collections like 'Office Supplies'. Tags also allow Suppliers to be grouped into broader cross-cutting categories such as 'Sustainable' or 'Preferred'.
Product Tags remain visible on the product throughout the purchasing process so items can be easily categorized during checkout and approval.
Communities can also apply a Boost to Supplier and Product Tag so that any Supplier or Product with the tag will be boosted in the search results. For example, if the 'Preferred' tag is boosted then any supplier meeting the search criteria AND tagged with 'Preferred' will appear at the top.
Tags can also be used to assist Accounts Payable with managing invoices sent to the Unimarket Invoice Inbox. The invoice stub can be assigned Tags to help identify who within Accounts Payable is responsible for reviewing the invoice.
