Add Tags (Labels) to Your Tasks

This feature is available to all project admins

 

Add Tags to label your tasks and bring more structure to your project boards. Tags are prominently displayed on each task tile and offer an additional way to organize, filter, and visualize your project.


What Are Tags?

Tags are color-coded labels which can be used to categorize and organize tasks within your project.

Once you've added tags to your project, you can organize and sort tasks based on your tags:

 

  • Filter your project to only show certain tags
  • Generate a Report on specific tags

Tags are completely customizable and can be tailor-made to suit your organizational needs. Create tags to designate priorities, topics, project phases, teams or any other variable. Be sure to choose a color appropriate to your tag. Don't be afraid to get creative!

Tip:

Check out these tag examples - each line represents a combination of tags that could be used for a project:

High priority - Low priority - Pipeline

Feature - Bug - Design

Approved - For review - On hold

Research - Writing - Lab - Exam preparation
