# Enable indexing of tags for an indexed source

# Enable indexing of tags for an AI Search indexed source {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure an indexed source attribute to enable indexing of content from tags found on records from an indexed source.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais_admin

## About this task

By default, AI Search indexing ignores tags from source records. You can enable indexing of tags for all records from an indexed source. Choose whether you want to index all shared and globally visible tags or only
globally visible tags. Private tags are never indexed.

For more general instructions on defining indexed source attributes, see [Create an indexed source attribute in AI Search](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/v__9nxLThHLlrEWmv_yDOg "Define an indexed source attribute to configure the AI Search content indexing behavior for all records on a source table.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI SearchAI Search IndexIndexed Sources.
2. Open the indexed source that you want to enable tag indexing for.
3. In the Advanced Configuration related list, select New.
4. On the Indexed Source Attribute form, fill in the fields.
   1. In the Attribute field, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">index_tags</kbd>.
   2. In the Value field, enter one of the following options:

   {#enable-tag-indexing-ais__table_ulx_dfb_gnb__entry__2}

   | Option | Description |
   |-|-|
   | everyone_only | Only tags shared with everyone are indexed. |
   | all_shared | All shared tags (Everyone, Groups and Users) are indexed. |
   [ ]

   {#enable-tag-indexing-ais__table_ulx_dfb_gnb}

   For a description of the field values, see [Indexed Source Attribute form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/15cPFMcV_ZjycftJQiK38g "The Indexed Source Attribute form enables you to create an indexed source attribute for an indexed source in AI Search.").
5. Select Submit.

## Result

The new index_tags indexed source attribute appears in the Advanced Configuration related list.

## What to do next

To make the new index_tags attribute take effect, perform a full table reindex for the indexed source. For details on this procedure, see [Perform a full table index or reindex for a single AI Search indexed source](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bwrBDfHjTH51BUWqtnLaOg "Make content from an internal indexed source searchable by performing a full table index. This procedure indexes existing records from the source table and any child tables configured for indexing. You can manually reindex content from an internal indexed source by repeating this procedure.").
