Working with tags

Tags are a flexible and ad hoc way to label, flag, categorize and group cards. You can use tags for any purpose at any time, e.g. to flag specific bugs that tell a developer to speak to a certain person. Or highlight user stories that need to be reviewed by a usability expert.

Hint: You can also tag wiki pages with search terms so they are more prominent when searching in Mingle.

You can tag any card or wiki page with an unlimited number of tags. You can view cards according to their tags by adding tags to the filter on the main card view page, or search according to tag names.

How to add or remove tags from multiple cards

1. Sign in to Mingle and locate your project (if you're not already working in the project).
2. Locate the card(s) you want to tag.
   You can do this by filtering a card view or searching for cards.
   
   
   
3. Display the cards you want to tag in a list view.
4. Click the Tag button.
   Mingle displays the tag field.
   
   
5. Type the tag name(s), separating distinct tag names with commas.
   If tags already exist for the project, Mingle displays suggestions as you type.
6. Click the Add tags button.
   Mingle adds these tags to the top of the tag field. You can remove these tags by clicking the X next to the tag name(s).
   
   
   
   Whenever you select cards in the list view with these tags, the tag names will display here where you can remove them for selected cards.

How to add tags to single cards

1. Sign in to Mingle and locate your project (if you're not already working in the project).
2. Locate and open the card you want to tag.
   You can do this by filtering a card view or searching for cards.
   
   
   Mingle displays any tags currently attached to this card.
3. Click the edit tags link.
   Mingle opens up these tags for editing.
   
   
   
4. If you want to:
   • add a new tag, type it in the field here.
     Click the Add tags button.
     Mingle adds the tag above the tag field.
   • remove a tag, click the X to the right of the tag name.
5. Click Close.
