Use tag categories to define the types of tags that are used to tag reputation database entries. A tag category can be created manually, by ThreatDV, or be predefined on the SMS. Tag categories can be imported or exported as a group in .xml format.
To prevent duplicate definitions when importing profiles from another SMS or when managing a device that was managed by another SMS, export the Reputation tag categories from one SMS to the other. As a result, all SMS devices will recognize these tag categories as identical and will not treat them as different tag categories. You can then import or export tag categories many times between all SMS devices without resulting in duplicate definitions because each SMS will recognize previously imported or exported tag categories and will not duplicate them.
