# Adding tags to dashboards


Tags help you identify, organize, and manage your dashboards by adding descriptive labels. You might tag your dashboards to identify which department created them, track them by project or initiative, label their purpose, or mark them for different environments. For example, you could use tags like Department = Marketing or Project = Cost-Optimization-2025 to categorize your dashboards.

When you have many dashboards across your organization, tags become particularly valuable. They allow you to filter and search for specific dashboards, control access through IAM policies based on tag values, and track dashboards that serve similar purposes across different teams. If you use the AWS CLI or SDK, tags also help you manage related dashboards as a group.
