Creating a Tag no longer available!

The way to tag a field is no longer available under my new version of Splunk. Is there a way to restore this tag capability or if there is another way to create tags? Here is a youtube video by Karen Hodges when creating tags under Splunk was simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCyOg66dbIk

Thanks! Juan

Thanks ChrisG! The Edit Tag under actions was a bit confusing since there is where you can now create a new tag.

Hi @quanteq

What version of Splunk are you referring to when you say "my new version of Splunk" just so users on Answers have more context?
