What can you use instead?
We recommend using Dependency map in Viewpoint mode to filter or group components by tag and explore their relationships.

Group Components by a tag example
This is a good option when you want to:
Identify applications tagged as business-critical and see how they relate to other applications, for example as an Enterprise Architect assessing the impact of a change.
Group applications by tag, such as by criticality or lifecycle status, to focus on one category at a time.
Why use Viewpoint mode?
Viewpoint mode makes it easier to explore your architecture, create visualizations, and turn data into insights.
Here's what you can benefit from:
Explore large datasets more efficiently. Work with the data you need without loading entire workspaces.
Make changes with AI. Use natural language to adjust your visualization, such as highlighting applications approaching end of life or adding labels to show their owners.
Spend less time configuring views and more time exploring your architecture!
How to get started
Follow these steps to explore your tagged applications in Viewpoint mode.
Open the Viewpoint builder: From the Home page, select Explore data.
Select your starting components: Choose the Application component type and select the applications you want to start from.
Select references: Select dataset and choose Add reference to see connection, select the incoming/outgoing references so you can see what your applications depend on and what depends on them.
Filter by tag: Select Viewpoint builder (cogwheel icon), choose Add filters and select Application component in the traversal, and add a filter rule for the tag, for example Value is business-critical.
Update the dataset: Select Update dataset and open View style, options, and setting icon from the right, choose Dependency Map as the view style.
Group by tag (optional): Add a grouping rule under Groups and select By Tag to organize applications into categories.
Save and share! When you’re happy with how your view looks, click Save as viewpoint, then share it with your stakeholders through Manage permissions.

That's it! You now have a Dependency map that shows your business-critical applications and how they relate to other applications.
A few things to keep in mind
Dependency map works a little differently from the original Tagscape view.
No overview of all tags: Tagscape lists every tag and the components tagged with it. Dependency map shows the tags you filter or group by. To list components by tag, use Data Inventory and its Tags column.
Components only for grouping: You can group components by tag, but not references.
Reference tags: Reference tags can only be viewed and edited in Workspace mode.
