Tag Description Editor

Using the Tag Description Editor, you can add custom descriptions to your tags. Checkly AI uses these descriptions to provide more context and insights into failures and the impact on user groups, features and applications.

This is very useful for organizations with specific domain knowledge and terminology embedded in their tags. For example, a tag like feat:checkout can be enriched with a description like “This tag is used for the checkout feature of our e-commerce application, which allows users to purchase products online.”
