Create color-coded tags for one board, apply them to its tasks, and filter the board by one or more tags

Key sections from this documentation page.

Create a TagApply TagsFilter by Tags

Task tags are labels that belong to one board. They provide color and a reusable way to categorize and filter that board's tasks.

Create a Tag

  1. Open a board.
  2. Open the tag dropdown in the toolbar.
  3. Choose the create action.
  4. Enter a name and choose a color.
  5. Save the tag.

Each tag name can be used once per board; PawPlacer says so if the board already has a tag with that name.

Apply Tags

Open a task, select one or more tags on Details, and update the task. Tags appear on task cards and rows.

Filter by Tags

Open the board's tag dropdown and select one or more tags. The board narrows to matching tasks and displays a removable filter chip for each tag; removing a chip clears only that tag. Clear the selection to show the full status view again.

Edit or Delete a Tag

Use the tag's actions in the same dropdown to change its name or color, or to delete it. Changes apply everywhere that board uses the tag. Deleting a tag removes the label from its tasks; it does not delete the tasks.

Useful systems include priority, department, location, animal-care category, or a waiting reason. Keep names short enough to scan on task cards.
