Event tags are labels you can assign to events in Goldcast Studio. These tags help you categorize and organize your events based on any criteria relevant to your organization, such as event types, location, content types, target audience, marketing strategies, etc. 

Event tags let you quickly filter and find specific events in the Studio, which can be highly convenient when you have many events to manage.
