# Global Settings: Tags

Custom key/value fields you define once and reuse across every asset in the account.

## What this page is for

Tags let you attach your own information to assets — anything the platform does not model natively. A tag is a **key** (the field name) plus a **value**. Keys are defined here, once, and are then available across every system in the account; the value can be overridden per asset.

Typical uses: the installer or O&M provider, the country or region, the installation date, an internal project or asset number, the site's local name, a contracted revenue figure.

![The Tags page: a search box, an Add Tag button, and a table of tag rows with Key, Default Value and Applies To columns plus reorder arrows and a row menu.](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/1b286600-2f19-474c-8a3c-c1a4744a0c71)

## The table

| Column | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Key | The field name, as it will appear wherever tags are shown. Free text, and any language. |
| Default Value | The value applied to assets that have not been given their own. Leave blank if there is no sensible default. |
| Applies To | Which asset types the key is offered on: All, PV Systems, BESS or Sites. A key can apply to more than one. |

Each row also has up and down arrows, which set the order tags appear in elsewhere in the platform, and a three-dot menu whose single action is **Delete**.

## How to add a tag key

1.  Go to **Settings → Global Settings → Tags**.
2.  Press **Add Tag**. A new empty row appears.
3.  Type the **Key**. Use the wording your team already uses — this name shows up in filters and exports.
4.  Optionally set a **Default Value**.
5.  Open **Applies To** and tick the asset types it belongs on.
6.  Press **Update** at the bottom of the page.

## How to find a key in a long list

Use the **Search tags…** box above the table. Accounts commonly accumulate dozens of keys, so search before adding — duplicate keys with slightly different spellings are the usual way a tag scheme goes wrong.

## How to reorder or remove a key

-   **Reorder:** use the up and down arrows on the row, then press Update.
-   **Delete:** open the three-dot menu on the row and choose Delete, then press Update.

## Notes

-   **Deleting a key is account-wide.** It removes that field, and the values every asset holds against it. There is no per-asset delete here.
-   **Renaming a key** changes it everywhere at once, including in saved filters and views that referenced the old name.
-   **Default Value is a fallback, not a bulk edit.** Setting it does not overwrite values already entered on individual assets.
-   Keys are shared; values are per asset. Set the value on the asset itself, not here.
-   Nothing is saved until you press **Update** — including rows you added or deleted.
