Tags (control type) in Jitterbit App Builder

The Tags control, available in App Builder 4.63 and later, allows users to select one or more values from a predefined list. Selected values are stored together in a single database text column as a comma-delimited list (for example, TagA,TagB,TagC).

The Tags control is well suited for categorization and labeling use cases where the selected values do not need to be stored in a separate relational table.

Set up a Tags control

To add a Tags control to a panel, use the control wizard. When selecting the control type, the Tags control appears in the Edge Case group:

Tags control

The Tags control requires a source data object that provides the key and title values for the available tags. Configure the source data object in the control's List properties, the same way you would for a List control.

Known limitations

  • Filtering is not supported. Tags control fields cannot be added to a filter panel.
  • Links are not supported. Neither static links nor dynamic links can be configured on the Tags control.
  • Retrieval bindings are not available. Retrieval bindings do not apply to multi-select controls and are not shown in the Tags control properties.
