Overview<\/h2>\n

A workitem can be identified from the many fields, and the tag is one such field that can be used to sort the workitems in an Agile workitem. Tagging can be a great way to associate workitems with a feature, customer, or anything important that you would like to remember. You can ‘tag’ a card with any value\/label you want, to retrieve the workitem, specifically filtering cards on tags.<\/p>\n

Steps to Add Tags to a Workitem<\/h2>\n

Prerequisite:<\/strong> The form must include a Tag<\/strong> block configured in Forms 2.0<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>Note:<\/strong>
\nTags aren\u2019t supported while using Multiline Add Item<\/em>.
\nHowever, you can view tags in read-only mode when editing an item.<\/div>\n

To add a tag, while creating or modifying a workitem,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Type text in the free-flowing text box in the Tags<\/strong> block, then press ENTER<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0SPACEBAR<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  2. The tag appears along with a cross mark.<\/li>\n
  3. It is much easier to select the required tag from the Auto-complete list. The tags already created for workitems in your project are listed as you type.<\/li>\n
  4. To delete the tag, click the cross mark.\"Tags\" When the cursor turns into a hand pointer. You cannot edit a tag, it\u2019s quick to delete and add a new tag instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note<\/b>: A maximum of 25 tags can be added to each workitem.<\/p>\n

    If you type a duplicate tag in the same workitem and try to press\u00a0ENTER<\/b>, it will not be accepted and will highlight (in yellow color) the existing tag in the text box.<\/p>\n

    Also, You can now add tags directly from the Workitem listing view in modules such as Eform Listing, Work Hub Listing, Dashboard Listing, and other editable listings. To add a tag, click on the Tags cell against a workitem, then type the tag name or enter first three letters of the desired tag. If a matching tag exists, it will be suggested or Press Enter to add the tag. Afterward, click outside the cell to save the workitem with the newly added tag.<\/p>\n

    Save the workitem after you add your tags.<\/p>\n

    Adding Tags from the Listing View<\/h3>\n

    Follow these steps to add tags directly from the listing view:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

    2. \n

      Click on the Tags cell corresponding to the workitem you want to add a tag to.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n
