See Backend Tags.

Most units associated with an MAU have been created in the system under the Departments field. A unit tag may be nested under another unit tag. 

If a content author believes that a tag is missing and would like it added to the system, contact Katie Kelly to discuss the need. Katie will provide guidance on if the tag exists (and where), if it is an appropriate candidate for a new Departments tag, or if it can be added to the global taxonomy.
