# Tag: Pre-Defined Values

Values provide a way to further identify objects that are associated with a tag. For example, the *products* tag might have values such as *footwear*, *handbags*, and *scarves*. The machinery tag might have values such as *conveyor belt* and *forklift*.

You can set up values ahead of time so users can select the ones that apply when they assign a tag to an object. These are referred to as *pre-defined values*. You can also control whether users are allowed to add new values with the [tag's **Allow Users to Add Their Own Values** setting](/v1/docs/tag-main#allow-users-to-add-their-own-values).

These tag settings are located in the Pre-Defined Values accordion of the Add/Edit Tag workscreen. The Add/Edit Tag workscreen displays when you [add](/v1/docs/adding-a-tag) or edit a tag.

## **Adding a Pre-Defined Value**

To add pre-defined values to a tag:

1. From the Add/Edit Tag workscreen, expand the Pre-Defined Values accordion.
2. Enter the values in the field. You may either press ENTER after each value, or separate each value with a comma then press ENTER when you are finished.
3. Click **Save**.

## **Removing a Pre-Defined Value**

Removing a pre-defined value only removes the value from the list of available values that's displayed when objects are associated with a tag. Removing a pre-defined value does not remove the value from objects to which it was previously assigned.

To remove a pre-defined value from a tag:

1. From the Add/Edit Tag workscreen, expand the Pre-Defined Values accordion.
2. Click the X beside the pre-defined value that you would like to remove.
3. Click **Save**.
