Tags are an additional layer of customization for the Items in Yodiz. You can group your data on basis of Tags. Tags can also be used to relate, organize and filter that data. Several graphs can be generated based on Special Tag values.

Tags are company-wide applicable labels. A tag created in one project is also available for other projects and users.

In this article we will discuss following things:

1. Types of Tags

There are 3 types of Tags available at Yodiz.

A. Special Tags

Special Tag is defined as an accurate and well-planned keyword, that can even be used in graphs and reports. In addition to Components, it is another feature to figure out and innovate new ways to use and locate your project data.

To avoid any inaccuracy, only Admin. can create these tags. Special tag color distinguishes it from other tags.

B. Standard Tags

These are normal labels that are created automatically as users enter values at “Tags” text box on any items. All users can create these tags. These tags are searchable keywords on all boards.

C. Integration Tags

These are system generated labels that are created automatically by linking integrated items. Supported integration tags are for FreshDesk, UserVoice, ZenDesk and HappyFox. To link an integrated item to existing or new Yodiz item, use Link dropdown Link-button in integration pages. Linking will automatically generate integration tag for Yodiz item under Tags field.

These tags are searchable keywords on all boards. Applying such tag is easy. It is shown under tags Integrations category.
