PAI's Tagging system provides a flexible organizational layer that allows you to categorize, filter, and track various elements throughout your workspace. Tags function as custom labels that can be applied to different objects within PAI, enabling more granular control over data organization and reporting.
## **Tagging Overview**
The Tagging feature is currently available in beta and supports:
- **Expense Line Tagging**: Add multiple tags to individual budget expense lines
- **Crew Profile Tagging**: Apply tags to vendor profiles for enhanced filtering and organization

### Tag Groups
Tag Groups allow you to organize your tags within subset groups. This will separate tags within their respective use areas, ie, Tags within the "vendor" Tag Group will only be shown in the vendor profile tag areas. Tags that are not within a specific group will be available to apply within all tag-gable objects in the app.
