Set Up Tags

You can create tags for agents to apply to their interactions to mark the interaction with a certain characteristic. When you create tags, you must associate them with skills Used to automate delivery of interactions based on agent skills, abilities, and knowledge, and you can associate a tag with any number of skills. You can also give a skill any number of tags; however, it is a best practice to only apply a few so that agents can find the ones they want more quickly.
