Tag Schema

Understand the definition of Tag Schema and the tabs available with their options for you to select.
Tag Schema allows you to check how compliant your tags are against our tag definitions. Basically, the way it works is tags are fetched from the provider and compliance check is run on them. This compliance check is done based on the established Tag definition.
To access Tag Schema, click the
Main menu
 and then select
Tag Schema
