### Step 5: Organize Related Alerts With Tags
### Step 5: Organize Related Alerts with Tags

You can use alert tags to organize related alerts into categories. Alert tags are especially useful for setting up [maintenance windows](maintenance_windows_managing.html). You can:
* [Search or filter](wavefront_searching.html) the list of alerts in the Alerts Browser to show only a category of alerts.
* Suppress a category of alerts during a [maintenance window](maintenance_windows_managing.html).
* [Reference a group of alert metrics](alerts_dependencies.html#referencing-alert-metrics) in a single expression.

<li>Select one or more alerts in the Alerts Browser and click <strong>+Tag</strong> or <strong>-Tag</strong></li>

### Step 6: (Optional) Use Multi-Level Alert Tags

If your environment has a nested set of categories, you can use alert tag paths. For example, suppose you have created a group of alerts that you use as demo examples, and:
* Within the demo group, some alerts monitor network activity, while others monitor request latency.
* Within each subgroup, some alerts monitor production applications, while others monitor development applications.
* Within the demo group, some alerts monitor network activity.
* Within each subgroup, some alerts monitor production applications.

To manage these alerts, you assign the tag paths `example.network.prod`, `example.network.dev`, `example.latency.prod`, and `example.latency.dev`. The Alerts Browser below shows the tag paths as a hierarchy under **Tag Paths** on the left. You can click **example** and then **network** to view all alerts that have a tag path that starts with `example.network`.

* Use the `lag()` function in the alert condition.
* Increase the length of the alert check time window.


### Adjust the Alert Condition

You can use the [`lag()`](ts_lag.html) function in an alert condition to shift the alert check time window back in time. Pick a time window that you think might be old enough to contain backfilled values. Without `lag()`, the alert check time window ends immediately before alert checking occurs, which is too soon for backfilling to occur.
