# Browse Tags

Browse Tags let you easily categorize items in the Product Catalog. You can tag a catalog item by market, manufacturer, color, and/or other factors. For example, a phone could be tagged by all of the following: Samsung, Galaxy, and blue.

The IDI platform supplies eleven system defined browse tags which have specific functions. However, you can create additional browse tags.

**System defined Browse Tags:**

| - Plan | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Plan" catalog items. Not used in SalesCentral |
| --- | --- |
| - Handset | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Handset" catalog items. Not used in SalesCentral. |
| - Feature | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Feature" catalog items. |
| - Accessory | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Accessory" catalog items. Currently not in use. |
| - Contract | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Contract" catalog items. |
| - Auto-Assign | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Auto-Assign" catalog items which could be automatically assigned to a cart. If this Browse Tag is used as a Required Browse Tag in an Assignment Template, the corresponding Category in the template is treated as an Auto-Assign Category. |
| - Service | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Service" catalog items. Currently not used in OnlineAgent. |
| - Account-Level Feature | Indicates the corresponding catalog items can be assigned at the account level. Currently not used in OnlineAgent. |
| - Discount | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Discount" catalog items. Currently not used in OnlineAgent. |
| - Retail Product | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Retail Product" catalog items. Currently not used in OnlineAgent. |
| - Pricing Plan | Indicates the corresponding catalog items are "Pricing Plan" catalog items. Currently not used in OnlineAgent. |

**Notes**:

- System defined Browse Tag names and categories cannot be deleted.
- System defined Browse Tag ID numbers are less than 10,000. User defined IDs are greater than 10,000.

Once a browse tag has been created, you can include it on the Browse Tags tab of a catalog item. (See [New Product - Browse Tags Tab](/v1/docs/product-browse-tags-tab).)

You can also add it to the Browse Tags tab by adding the catalog item to the Associated Products list on a browse tag. (See [Adding, Editing, and Viewing Browse Tags](/v1/docs/adding-editing-and-viewing-a-browse-tag).) This method is faster if you want to add multiple catalog items to a particular browse tag.

You can assign browse tags to the following catalog item types:

- Products
- Retail Products
- Packages (Plans)
- Contracts
