Learn how to tag your time entries for a more accurate time categorization.
Tags are a useful tool for accurately tracking your time. They allow you to easily organize and categorize your time entries. By using tags, you can ensure that your time tracking is more precise and efficient.
Owners and admins can manage and create tags from the section Management>Tags.
There, you can create Tag lists, and add tags to the lists. Tag lists help you organize and keep your tags in order (especially if you use many).
If you need to add a new tag to a list, simply click the Add tag button. Set a name for your tag and save.
In the same section, you can also archive, un-archive, and eventually delete tags and tag lists.
