16 This microlearning centers around linking tag(s) to trigger(s).
17 With linking, we mean: Categorize a certain trigger with the help of tag functionality
18
19 * Make tags descriptive in nature
20 * Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
21 * In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them

27 In our previous dalliance with this subject we already discussed parts of what we will discuss in this microlearning. This microlearning is mainly meant to reiterate the importance of using proper tags when setting up your alerting. Linking the correct tag(s) to your trigger(s) will help you to clarify how the alerting structure for your project is set up. This is not only nice when you want to revisit the alerting section but it is also very usefull in communication with the business and with a support desk. This way you can create a common truth surrounding a common language. Key parts in achieving this are:
28
29 * Make tags descriptive in nature
30 * Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
31 * In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them
32
33 To link tag(s) to trigger(s) you navigate to Manage -> Alerting -> Triggers
34
35 In this overview you can simply select a specific trigger to see the detailed configuration of the trigger. Depending on the type of trigger that you open the avaiable tabs within the pop-up and the information shown in the pop-up can differ. Below we show two distinct examples:

40
41 As you can see from these examples is that the number of tabs within the pop-up differ. The first tab is were the configuration of the trigger happens. In all the other tabs you need to link the tag(s) to the trigger. To do so simply press Add in one of these tabs, search for the Tag you want to link to this trigger, select it and press Select.

49 When you are happy with your selection you can press Save on trigger level and eMagiz will link the tag to the trigger.
