# Importing or Exporting Predefined Tags

#### Importing Predefined Tags

If you have inventory tags, you can quickly import them to the TMS predefined tags to facilitate subsequent resource association.

The predefined tag import function allows you to import the .csv file exported from a third party to TMS. The encoding format of the .csv file must be UTF-8.

If duplicate content exists between the current environment and the imported file, the content of the current environment will be overwritten after the import.

When editing tags to be imported, pay attention to the following restrictions:

- Each user can create up to 500 predefined tags.
- You can enter a maximum of 36 and 43 characters for Key and Value, respectively. Both Key and Value can contain only digits, letters, hyphens (-), at signs (@), and underscores (_).

Predefined tag importation does not support .csv files that have been modified in Excel. Attempting to import such files will produce garbled characters and result in an importation failure. To edit a .csv file, open it with notepad.

To import predefined tags, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Under Management & Deployment, select Tag Management Service.
3. Choose Predefined Tags.
4. Click Download template (CSV file).
5. Fill in the template as prompted.
6. Click Import and select the target file.
7. Click OK.

   The predefined tags are imported successfully and displayed in the predefined tag list.
