Understanding Tags

You probably know by now that programs are like building blocks in Marketo. Utilizing tags and channels will assist you in filtering data for reporting purposes.

Tags are used to describe programs. You can make as many as you need, each with unique values. Channels identify the delivery mechanism in a program, such as webinar, sponsorship, or online ad.

Tag Type

Tag types identify the kind of information you want to sort by.

TIP

Talk to your Marketo Admin if you’d like to create custom tags.

NOTE

Example

  • Tag Type = Program Owner

Tag Value

Each tag type will have values to choose from.

NOTE

Example

  • Tag Values = Anna, Arun, Reza

Channel

Channels are used to report on how your members moved through your program. Each channel has a set of progression statuses and one status that is set to equal success.

NOTE

Example

  • Channel = Roadshow
  • Progression status = Invited, Registered, Attended, No Show
  • Success = Attended
