• Tags are case insensitive.

• We strongly recommend that the values your use for Tags employ only alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-Z, A-Z) as Data Migrators can’t guarantee the support for non-alphanumeric tags across all potential CI platforms and use cases.

• The default behaviour of not specifying an Include tags option is that everything is included.

• The default behaviour of not specifying any Exclude tags option is that nothing is excluded.

• The default behaviour of not specifying any Include or Exclude tag options is that everything is included.

• When no Include and Exclude tags are specified Compliance Rules are not scanned recursively (existing behaviour).  When at least one tag is specified (either Include or Exclude), rules are scanned recursively.

• You can use * to match all tags so you can use * to include everything and leave Exclude tags blank. This will trigger recursive scanning of rules (different from leaving both blank which results in the existing, shallow, non-recursive behaviour).

• Multiple tags are expressed as a comma seperated list with no spaces. (e.g. -include-tags MyTag,AnotherTag)

Workbench Configuration

The MettleCI Workbench permits you to specify which include and exclude tags will be used when testing your Job’s Compliance interactively from within the Workbench interface.
