**Step 6:** Tag Info
You can set the tag name and validity period. The default validity period is one year for any new tag and can be set to any desired date. To understand tag validity or expiry, see the section **Set the Validity period and Tag Expiry**.

The default validity period is one year for any new tag and can be set to any desired date. When the expiry date is close, you will receive a reminder e-mail notification about the tag expiry. If no action is taken, the tag stops triggering post the set validity period.
