Tagging stands for creating and assigning tags to specific orders so that orders can be easily accessed by using tags for searches. Quick access to orders allows the admin to access order data easily as well as fulfill orders as a priority. For instance, you want to fulfill orders that have a specific shipping location want to access orders which have a large number of quantities or you want to search orders based on certain order statuses and more.
