AutoTag is an automation feature to apply metadata to items or documents across SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server
Centrally manage and consistently apply metadata to documents automatically within your SharePoint lists and libraries

AutoTag lets you maintain site-wide or enterprise-wide lists of managed metadata terms and associated taxonomy, and automatically apply these to matching content, document library by document library
Achieved by the deployment of Tag Bots
Each Bot uses a source list with metadata information that needs to be updated on the target lists/libraries. The source and target can be selected either by manual input of site URL details or by searching across the tenancy based on your list/library/content type names or IDs or even a wild card pattern

Before AutoTag
The target list or library only has a reference to what metadata should be applied in its Title - This is the reality of many SharePoint lists and libraries. Over time they become an accumulator of unrelated, unstructured elements. At some point, a given list or library is more of a burden than help, because to find anything there, the user must spend an unjustifiable amount of time.
After AutoTag
The AutoTag Bot recognises the Title has potential metadata and cross references this with its source list. Tags are then applied accordingly. A single piece of information is all AutoTag needs - which can even be within a title to fully tag List and Library items across a given site collection. This means less stress, no lost time and increased productivity thanks to clear information architecture applied automatically.
Frequently asked questions

What can we use AutoTag for?
AutoTag allows you to centrally manage and consistently apply metadata to documents automatically within your SharePoint lists and libraries.
What is an AutoTag bot?
AutoTag Bots are agents that, when instructed will apply metadata to targeted lists/libraries. Each Bot uses a source list with pre-loaded metadata information and uses that source list to cross-reference with when applying missing metadata on the target lists or libraries.

None, AutoTag is licenced to a Microsoft 365 tenancy with a number of AutoTag Bots available to deploy.

Which Languages does AutoTag support?
An AutoTag Bot can be applied to any list or library within a given site collection.
Which file formats are supported by AutoTag?
