The "Tags" Pin Field

Tags, in a general sense, are labels or keywords assigned to content to facilitate classification and retrieval. They serve as a quick and efficient way to organize and categorize information, making it easier for users to locate and manage their data.

Tags can include numbers, special characters, and can be written in either uppercase or lowercase letters. Since tags can't have empty spaces in them, in the case of multiple words you can use "-" or a "_" as dividers. For example: instead of " in progress", the tag should be "in-progress".

Setting up the "tags" pin field

• The Tags pin field is activated by default for every project and assigned to all categories. This means that users can immediately harness the power of tags without the need for additional configurations, ensuring a seamless start to their project management journey.

• You have the ability to deactivate tags or assign them to specific categories by navigating to the Pin design tab in the Project settings. This level of customization ensures that you can tailor the use of tags to align with the unique requirements of every project.

• It's important to note that there is only one tag field in any given project. This limitation ensures simplicity and clarity in project organization, avoiding potential confusion that could arise from multiple tag fields.

Filtering by tags

Users can filter content by tags in the Pin list, Task list, and Media list. This enables a focused view of specific elements associated with particular tags, streamlining the workflow and enhancing productivity.

To use the filter, simply select the filter predicate Tags and provide the desired tags.
