Creating tags for cards or wiki pages

Tags are a great way to dynamically-group related cards or wiki pages in Mingle. You can create and manage tags from the Project admin > Tags page, or create tags on the fly from within cards or wiki pages.

Hint: It's not essential to create tags as a project administrator since team members will most likely create tags as they work on projects. Your main task as a project administrator then becomes maintaining tags.

Applying tags to wiki pages gives you extra search terms. Whenever you search in Mingle, the search results for wiki pages are prioritized according to tags. For example, if a wiki page has a tag of 'training' and you perform a Mingle search for 'training', this wiki page will be prioritized in the search results.

Applying tags to cards gives you another layer of card filtering when displaying cards or creating saved views. You can specify which cards you want to view according to their tags from the Filter list by... section.

Hint: For details about creating tags in cards or wiki pages on the fly, see Working with tags and Using tags to manage wiki pages.

How to add new tags from the Project admin section

1. Sign in to Mingle as a project administrator and open the project with the tags you want to add or change (if you're not already working in the project).
2. Click the Project admin tab.
   
   
   
   Mingle displays the Project settings page.
   (Note: if you are signed in as a project team member, Mingle displays the Team page.)
   
   
   
3. Click the Tags link.
   Mingle displays the Tags page with all tags currently in the project.
   In the example below, no tags have been added yet.
   
   
   
4. Click the Create new tag link.
   Mingle displays the Create new tag page.
   
   
   
5. Type the tag name.
   Do not include commas. You can add spaces for tags with more than one word.
6. Click the Save tag button.
   Mingle saves the tag and displays it in the Tags page.
   
   
   
7. Repeat from Step 4 to create more tags.
