What are event tags?

A tag is like a label or a keyword that describes the event that it is added to. When a customer clicks on an event tag, any events that you have added the tag to will be displayed.

An event can have more than one tag. Tags are nonhierarchical but can be grouped together using tag groups.

How are tags different from categories?

Tags have a flat structure and are meant for labelling events across categories while categories have nested sub-categories.

For example, you could organise events under a parent category of 'Seminars' with sub-categories of 'Business', 'Personal development' and 'Communication' but any of the events in any of the categories could have a tag added like 'Coming soon' or 'Limited seating'.
