What is a smart-tag used for?

The smart-tag will allow you to group members, according to the characteristics you choose (location, skills, position, department…). You can then find the smart-tags in different places and use them to save time when assigning members or to filter a view.

Examples: members of your communication department, project managers, members of the New York office, members of the London office, interns…

Create a smart-tag

Go to the Members page, then click on the Smart-tags tab:

How to access the smart-tags page

Enter a name in the “Create new smart-tag” bar to name your smart-tag then click on the “Create smart-tag” button. Then you can add the members you want to this smart-tag using the drop-down menu.

Dashboard indicators organized by smart-tags

Customized dashboards allow the creation of monitoring indicators by smart-tag. This allows you to track the activity of a team, not just one member or all members.

This also works for the project portfolios of the global dashboard.

Smart-tags and members

Consult a member’s profile, “Smart-tags” section, to view and manage the smart-tags to which they belong.
