Using Tags

Tags help you organize and categorize orders for easy filtering and management.

What are Tags?

Tags are customizable labels that you can apply to orders. Each tag has:

A name - Descriptive label (e.g., "Electronics", "Mechanical", "Urgent")
A color - Visual identifier for quick recognition

Tags are organization-specific, meaning each organization has its own set of tags. Only organization admins and owners can create and manage tags.

Creating Tags

To create a new tag:

Open Organization Settings
Open the Tags tab
Click
Enter a name for the tag
Choose a color
Click Create tag

Use colors strategically - by making them visually distinct and meaningful, you can quickly identify and categorize orders at a glance.

Applying Tags to Orders

When creating or editing an order:

Look for the Tags field
Click to open the tag selector
Select one or more tags to apply

Filtering by Tag

Use tags to quickly find related orders:

Use the tag filter dropdown at the top of the order table
Select one or more tags to filter by

Only orders with the selected tags will be displayed.

Deleting Tags

To delete a tag:

Go to the Tags management area in Organization Settings
Click on the tag to edit
Click
Confirm the deletion

Deleting a tag will remove it from all orders. This action cannot be undone.

Tag Best Practices

Here are some suggestions for organizing tags:

By Subteam

Electronics
Mechanical
Programming
Carpentry

By Priority

Urgent
High Priority
Nice to Have

By Subsystem

Drivetrain
Intake
Shooter
Climber

By Status

Mentor Approved

Start with a small set of tags and add more as needed. Too many tags can make filtering less effective.
