Tagged Searches
In addition to the basic and advanced search options, you can also search by any tags added to resources within your organization. For example, if you want to request membership in a Management Role that sends notifications to each member when changes in group membership occur, you can select Notifications as the tag and then further refine results using one or more Advanced search parameters.
The more tags selected, the more refined the searches become.
