Create or edit event tags

Tags, which you define yourself – for example, ‘Conferences’, ‘Postgraduate’ or ‘Research seminar’ – can help visitors filter a busy calendar by their own interests. If you manage a department's calendar, tags for the main audiences is a good way to organise the calendar by audience (for example, undergraduates, postgraduates and staff). Another benefit of tags is when embedding an events list in a web page, you can choose to show a feed of events that have a certain tag.
