Product Tag

Product Tags can be used to create lists of products based on user needs. While both catalogs and tags represent ways to sort and filter products, they operate differently. Catalogs are selected from a pre-defined list entered by an administrator. Tags can be created at any time by any user creating a product. This makes tags more flexible and better for ad hoc labeling for products while the catalog is better suited for a more strict method of categorization. 

One product can be added to multiple tags. In the screenshot below, Tags for the product are highlighted in Green.
