Tagging and taxonomy tagging-and-taxonomy

A pile of untagged assets is hard to search and impossible to browse by topic. AEM Assets uses tags to help people find and organize assets, whether you use the Assets view or the Admin view. Consistent tags also keep Smart Tags accurate, since you can block terms that don’t belong in your organization’s taxonomy.

Assets view

Manage tags

In the Assets view, create, organize, and apply tags to build a taxonomy your team can search and browse by. Tags help people find related assets even when they don’t know the exact file name. This video shows how to manage your tag taxonomy.

Smart Tags and block tags

Smart Tags apply descriptive keywords to your assets automatically. Block tags so Smart Tags can’t apply culturally sensitive, irrelevant, or controversial keywords to your assets.
