FIELD GUIDE 16 / 21
Create colored task tags and filter work
Build a reusable team tag catalog, select tags on tasks, then filter and sort without retyping labels.
Product guide 3 sections
Manage the team's tags
- 01Select the company and open the team. A team owner opens the team management menu (⋯) → Task Tags.
- 02Enter a short tag name. Leave automatic color assignment selected to use a color not already used in that team, or choose a color yourself.
- 03Save the tag. Use the same modal to rename it or change its color later.
Keep in mind
Each team can have up to 100 tags. Names must be 1–40 characters and unique within that team, ignoring capitalization and extra whitespace. Automatic assignment avoids all colors already used in that team, including manually chosen colors; manually chosen duplicates are not the same as automatic assignment.

Add tags to tasks
- 01Create or edit a task and find Tags → Search and select tags.
- 02Search the selected team's catalog and choose one or more tags. Remove a selected tag to deselect it.
- 03Save the task. A task can hold up to 20 different tags; tags from another team cannot be selected.
Keep in mind
Renaming a tag keeps its task assignments. Recurring successors retain their tags. Moving a task to another team clears team-specific tags; choose the destination team's tags afterward.

Filter, sort and retire tags
- 01Use the team's tag filter to select the labels you want to see. Multiple selected tags match tasks with any selected tag.
- 02Use the tag-name sort where offered to group work by its labels. Clear tag filters to return to the full selection.
- 03Before deleting a tag in Task Tags, remove it from every task using it. Tags still in use cannot be deleted.
Keep in mind
Tags help organize work; they do not change membership, visibility or billing. Labels remain visible so color is not the only way to identify a tag.
