I want to configure jenkins so that it starts building if a new tag is released in any branch of an git repository. How do I configure this behaviour?

I'm very new in jenkins so excuse me if this might be a very basic question but I couldn't find it out on myself.

git jenkins config

Triggering: build trigger

Thanks for any help
