Tags settings live in the admin Settings area, so creating, editing, and deactivating tags is available to admins. Once a tag exists, anyone on your team who works with leads can apply it.
Open the Tags page
1
Go to Settings
Open Settings from the main navigation.
2
Choose Tags
Select Tags in the settings list. You can also use the settings search and type “tags” (or “labels” or “categories”) to jump straight there.
Read the tags table
Each row in the table shows three things:- Tag Name — the label your team sees and selects.
- Type — what the tag is used for. A tag is either a Lead tag (applied to leads) or a Project tag (applied to projects).
- Status — an Active or Inactive badge. Active tags can be applied to leads; inactive ones cannot be newly assigned.
Create a tag
1
Click Create New
Press the Create New button in the top-right of the Tags page. The Create Tag dialog opens.
2
Enter a name
In the Name field, type the label you want, such as “Referral” or “High Priority”. Keep it short and clear — this is exactly what your team will see when they pick tags.
3
Choose a type
Set the Type. Choose Lead to make the tag available when labeling leads, or Project to make it available when labeling projects. A tag’s type is fixed to one or the other, so pick the records you want this label to organize.
4
Confirm it is active
The Is Active checkbox is on by default, so the new tag is ready to use right away. Leave it on unless you are setting up a tag you do not want available yet.
5
Save
Click Create. You will see a confirmation that the tag was created, and it appears in the table immediately.
Edit a tag
1
Open the tag
In the table, click the pencil (edit) icon on the tag’s row. On a phone, open the tag’s actions menu and choose Edit.
2
Update the details
The Edit Tag dialog lets you change the Name, the Type, and the Is Active setting.
3
Save changes
Click Save Changes. The button stays disabled until you actually change something, so an accidental open never alters a tag.
Renaming a tag updates it everywhere it is already applied — every lead that carries the tag will show the new name. Rename thoughtfully so existing labels still make sense.
Deactivate a tag
When a tag is no longer useful, you deactivate it rather than deleting it. Deactivating keeps your history intact while taking the tag out of circulation for new work.1
Start the deactivation
Click the trash icon on the tag’s row (or choose Deactivate from the actions menu on a phone). A confirmation dialog titled Deactivate tag? appears.
2
Confirm
Read the note — the tag can no longer be assigned to new items, but existing assignments are preserved — then click Deactivate.
There is no permanent delete for tags. Deactivating is the intended way to retire one, which is why leads that were already tagged keep their labels.
Apply tags to a lead
Creating tags in Settings just builds the menu. Your team applies them while working a lead:1
Open a lead
Go to a lead’s detail page.
2
Use the Tags selector
Find the Tags field, start typing to search your active tags, and pick the ones that apply. You can attach several at once, and changes save on their own.
