# Create and manage tags

Whether you're juggling contacts, projects, tasks, or time tracking, tags let you sort and filter your data.

Tags are custom labels that help you organize and find things quickly. They're like digital post-its you can attach to almost anything—contacts, companies, projects, tasks, or time entries.

You can create tags that describe:

-   The type of work you're doing (e.g., `Marketing`, `Development`)
    
-   A status or category (e.g., `Urgent`, `In Progress`)
    
-   A segment (e.g., `VIP Client`, `Recurring Contract`)
    
-   Or anything else that helps you make sense of your day-to-day
    

#### Why use tags?

-   Group similar items together
    
-   Filter your view to focus only on what matters
    
-   Add helpful context at a glance
    
-   Keep your data cleaner without cluttering your workspace
    

# **How to use tags**

You can apply tags across:

-   Contacts
    
-   Companies
    
-   Projects
    
-   Tasks
    
-   Time Entries
    

Once you’ve added tags, you can use filters to instantly sort and find the exact info you need or [create custom views in your Directory](https://support.hubflo.com/en/articles/8095474-create-and-manage-custom-views-in-your-directory.md).

To edit or delete tags, head to **Settings → Tags**. From there, you can manage all your tags in one place—update names, change colors, or remove tags across all sections, including Contacts, Companies, Projects, Tasks, and more.
