# Tag a resource

Attach a tag to a resource to find it quickly and group it with others that share the tag.

## Before you begin

You need:

- A resource already created, in the project you are in. You attach a tag from the resource's
  list page after you create the resource.
- (Optional) A tag already created; see [Create a tag](/myaccount/account/how-to/create-a-tag/).
  You can also create one while attaching it.

## Where you can tag a resource

A resource's own list page shows a **Tags** column. You can attach a tag to Node, Volumes, Saved
Images, E2E Object Storage buckets, DBaaS, Parameter Group, CDP Backup, Load Balancer, Auto
Scaling, Kubernetes, Secrets Management, VPC, Security Group, Reserved IP, Firewall, CDN, Private
Cluster, and SFS.

## Attach a tag

1. On the resource's list page, find its row. The **Tags** column shows up to two tags; a third
   tag and beyond collapse into **...more**.
2. Click the tag icon beside the resource's name to open the Tags panel. It lists the project's
   tags.
3. Tick the tags you want on this resource. (Optional) To use a tag that does not exist yet,
   click **Create New** and enter a **Tag Name**: MyAccount applies it along with the ones you
   ticked.
4. Click **Apply Tags**.

MyAccount confirms that the tag was created, if you created one, and the resource's row shows the
tags you applied.

## Remove a tag

- On the resource's row, click the **x** beside the tag. It comes off at once, with no
  confirmation.
- From the Tags panel, untick the tag and click **Apply Tags**.

## Filter a list by tag

On the resource's list page, use **Filter by tag** to choose a tag from the project's list. The
list narrows to the resources that carry it.

Tags help you find and sort resources in MyAccount; they do not appear on billing, a cost report,
or any billing export. To rename or delete a tag itself, see
[Create a tag](/myaccount/account/how-to/create-a-tag/).
