Create and Manage Tags

This document covers how to create and manage tags. You can use tags to categorize your organization's requests using any criteria you choose. Possibilities include:

• Tagging requests from the media.
• Tagging requests by the degree of complexity.
• Tagging requests that are awaiting payment or some other requester response.
• Keep track of requests for major incidents.

Important Notes

• Only Admin users can create tags.
• All users can add tags to requests.
• For more information on how to add tags to requests, review the Add a Tag to a Request section of the Request Management Guide.

Deactivate A Tag

Important Notes

• Because you can now deactivate tags, you can also activate them again if you decide you want to use them. Turn on the toggle for "show deactivated tags" to add deactivated tags to your list of tags, and then click Activate to reactivate them.
• Deactivated tags cannot be edited. If you need to edit a deactivated item (for example to free up the name), first reactivate the item, then deactivate it again when you are done editing
• A deactivated tag will not be shown in the tag selection drop-down on the request page or the tag filter on the All Requests page. A deactivated tag that was previously added to a request will still be displayed and can be removed.

1. Log into your account
2. Open the Admin drop-down menu and click Tags
   
3. Click the archive button (file cabinet icon) next to the tag you want to remove
   
4. Click the Ok button on the pop-up message that reads: Are you sure you want to archive this tag?
