# Tagging Decisions Objects

## Overview

This article example uses a Flow to add a [Tag](/version-10/docs/tagging-overview) to the current user's Email Address in the Decisions environment. Since the Account data type properties are readily available as Flow Data by default, this setup can reference the **CurrentUserEmail** property.

## Adding a Tag to an Object in a Flow

1. From the **Flow Designer,** navigate to **INTEGRATION > INTERNAL SERVICES > TAGGINGSERVICE** in the **Toolbox** tab.
2. Attach an **AddTag** step to the **Start** and **End** step.
3. From the **AddTag** step's Properties tab, **Select From Flow** map **Flow** **Data****.CurrentUserEma****il** to object ID. Set **O****bject Short Type** to **Null,** **Constant** map "**String**" to **object Type,** and Constant map the desired value under the **tag**. Then, under **SECURITY CONTEXT**, set the desired **Context** **Type**.  

  - The object ID determines which object the Tag will be applied to.
  - The object Type is a mapped determination of the object's Data Type.
  - The Context Type configures the environment in which the tag context is applied. By default, it is only applied to the current user; however, it may also be applied System-wide to a specific UserIDAndPassword combination or by a referenced Session ID.
