To help you manage your vendor base more effectively, each vendor can be assigned with a variety of tags that communicate their unique business attributes. These attributes can include Indigenous Owned, Local Vendors, Social Enterprise, and many others.



Once tags have been applied to a vendor, they will be displayed in the vendor list and can be used to filter the list by the desired tag. Vendor tags will also be displayed in the Browse Panel, RFQ Quote Details, and in the Approval Forms.
