# Configuring Document Tags

Admins can create tags to label any document with a topic, category, or any other type of identification. Users can easily find tagged documents by searching or filtering on the tag name. You can apply tags to a document manually through the Doc Info page, or set up automatic document tagging. Users with the **Edit Fields** role-based permissions can manually add or remove tags, and Admins with the **Tags > Read** and **Tags > Edit** permissions can view or edit existing tags, respectively.

## How to Create Tags

To create 
  1. Navigate to **Configuration > Document Setup > Document Tags** and click **Create**.
  2. Enter a label for the tag.
  3. Set the status to _Active_ or _Inactive_.
  4. Optional: To set up automatic tagging, select the **Automatically tag documents with matching phrases in content** checkbox. See details [below][1].
  5. Optional: If archiving is enabled, select the **Include Archived Documents** checkbox.
  6. Optional: If you've opted for automatic tagging, set up phrases to trigger tagging. See details [below][1].
  7. Click **Save**.

## Automatic Tagging

Admins can configure tags to automatically tag documents that include specific phrases in the full text content of that document. For example, your Vault could automatically tag documents that include the phrases "side effects," "adverse events," or "adverse reactions" with the _Safety_ tag.

Add phrases in the **Phrases from Content** section. Each tag can match on no more than 20 phrases, and each phrase can be no longer than 50 characters. Vault automatically applies tags to existing documents. You can click on **Count matching documents** to see a count of all existing documents that match a phrase. After an Admin sets up automatic tagging, Vault analyzes and tags documents immediately after file upload.

Vault automatically tags text extracted from digital images which meet the supported [file formats](/en/lr/3815/#supported).
