Tag a Note
How to create tags (called categories in the app), add them to a Note, and how a Note's tags decide which queue times it can take.
Tags are labels on a Note, like "Personal" or "Promo". In the app's tag picker they are called categories. Besides organizing Notes, tags decide which reserved queue times a Note can take.
Add a tag to a Note
- Open the Note in the editor.
- Click the tag button in the toolbar ("Add a category").
- Turn on the switch next to each tag you want. A Note can have several tags.
On a Note card in My Notes, the tag icon opens the same picker.
Create a tag
- Open the tag picker.
- Type a name in New category....
- Press Enter or click Add.
If no tag matches what you typed, the picker shows "Press Enter or click Add to create a new tag".
Change a tag's color or delete it
In the tag picker, hover a tag and open its menu. Pick a new color, or click Delete.
How tags affect scheduling
Each time in your weekly template is one of three kinds:
| Time | Who can use it |
|---|---|
| Any note | Tagged and untagged Notes |
| Reserved for tags | Notes that share at least one of its tags |
| Only untagged notes | Notes with no tags |
When you click Add to Queue, a tagged Note takes the first Any note time or matching reserved time, whichever is sooner. An untagged Note never takes a reserved time during normal routing. The full rules and examples are on Tags and slots.
The Add to Queue button shows the time it will use. If it is a reserved time, the tag name follows the date.
Tips
- Changing a Note's tags doesn't move it if it is already scheduled. Tags only matter when the Note is placed.
- If you create a Note from an empty reserved time in the queue, it starts with that time's tags.
- In a CSV import, the
tagcolumn adds one tag per Note. See Write a Note.
