Player Tagging

Administrators, General Managers, Network Managers

...

1. Click thebutton next to the player you wish to tag.
2. Click the Tags field to open the Add Tags window.
3. Enter the Name and Value of each tag. Click OK once you've finished adding tags to the player.
4. Click Save to add the tags to your player. If you leave the page without clicking Save, the tag changes will be discarded.

Note the following when adding player tags

• A new tag is added to your BSN account if the specified tag Name is currently not in use by any other player on the account. The Add Tags window will state when you are adding new tag(s) to your account.
• If a similar Name or Value is already in use with another player tag, a type-ahead dialog will appear listing names/values that match what you've typed so far.
• You cannot use similar tag names with variant capitalization (for example, if "City" is already in use as a tag name, a new tag named "city" will default to "City" instead). On the other hand, tag values with variant capitalization are allowed.

You can use the Search function to search for players using their tag name or value. Ensure the Tags box is checked when searching.
