Importing and Exporting Predefined Tags

Constraints and Limitations

You can only import CSV files that use UTF-8 encoding.

Tag files or templates downloaded with Internet Explorer 9 cannot be imported to TMS via other browsers, and vice versa those downloaded with other browsers cannot be imported to TMS via Internet Explorer 9.

If duplicate tags exist between the current environment and the imported file, the tags of the current environment will be overwritten after the import.

When you edit imported tags, the following rules need to be followed:

  • You can create up to 500 predefined tags for each account.

  • You can enter a maximum of 36 and 43 characters for Key and Value, respectively. Both Key and Value can contain only digits, letters, hyphens (-), at signs (@), and underscores (_).

Important

If you edit a CSV file with Excel and then import the file to TMS, the tags will be garbled. To edit a CSV file, open it with notepad.
