Better way to view and filter by tags

Platform:All

Could we have a list of all tags that exist shown in a bar at the top of each list, so without having to click anything we can see all the tags that are assigned to items within the current list of items. Also it would be good to see the tags attached in each individual item on the right hand side of each item in the list as well.

And then if we can click any of the tags in the top bar, it would filter by those tags.

There should be a way to select multiple tags, (items with both tags), items with no tags at all, and to deselect tags (show all items that do *not* have this tag).

That would be very handy

Thanks,
Nathan.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Q: Could we have a list of all tags that exist shown in a bar at the top of each list, so without having to click anything we can see all the tags that are assigned to items within the current list of items.

A: If the tags are be set to the tasks in the list, they will be showed in the list view. Could you please tell me why you want to see all tags?

Q: And then if we can click any of the tags in the top bar, it would filter by those tags.

A: You could make this now. Please have a try.

Hi,

A1: Because if I can see all of the tags I know which items show in this list, it might be useful to know a tag with 'phonecall' is somewhere in the list, cos I know there is at least one phone call to make. Not all possible tags, just all tags that are associated with at least one item in the current list being viewed.

A2: I understand I can make permanent views, which could be quite handy, but if all tags show in the top row, I can just ctrl-click on two of them on the fly and filter by those two tags instantly. Very easy.

I ask this cos I have seen it work well in Nirvana so can I show you there example? See in this screenshot the tags up the top of the page, can click one or ctrl-click many of the tags and it will auto filter. Also can you see on the right side of each task can just look and see what tags are attached, don't have to open or edit the item:

I agree that visible tags are totally essential. I cannot use the Tags feature at all as it is now. I do not even know what the Tags feature is for if I cannot check my tagging directly in the list - it cannot be trusted.

Hi,

Sorry that I mis understand you about your first question. Do you mean that you want to see the tag information of the task on the task item in the task list viewing page? We are considering this issue now. It may be could be made on desktop versions. It is a little difficult to make on mobile apps as there is less space to show more information.

We will do a research on the tag feature in Nirvana.

Thank you for your support.
