Organize events with tags

Tags help you organize events based on a common purpose, such as campus or department. Set up tag groups based on that common purpose, and then assign those tags to your event. You can use the tags as filters on the Admin Calendar page and the Church Center Calendar page.

Important

Only organization administrators and Calendar administrators can create and edit tags.

To manage your tags, select the ⚙️ gear icon on the Events page and choose Tags from the dropdown menu.

Create a tag group

Tag groups hold similar tags in the same area. To create a new tag group:

1. From the Tags page, select New tag group at the top right.

2. Enter the name of the tag group. 

3. Select Required to require at least one tag from this tag group to be used for every event. Required tag groups are denoted by a red asterisk next to their name.

4. Select Save.

Edit or delete a tag group

To make changes to the tag group:

1. On the Tags page, select the ✏️ pencil icon at the top right of the tag group. 

2. Change the tag group name and/or the Required status. 

3. Select Save to apply changes.

To delete a tag group:

1. On the Tags page, select the ✏️ pencil icon at the top right of the tag group. 

2. Select the Delete button. 

3. Select Yes, delete tag group.

Warning

If you remove the tag group, all the tags in that tag group will be permanently deleted and removed from all events. There isn't a way to undo the deletion.

Create a tag

You can add tags to tag groups if they correspond to one another. You can also add them to the Individual Tags section if you have a tag that doesn't fit with other tags. The method for adding a tag is the same wherever you add it.

1. Select the Create new tag field in the group where you want to add the tag. 

2. Enter the name of the new tag.

3. Choose a color to represent the tag.

4. Check the Church Center category box to allow people to filter by this tag on Church Center.

5. Select Save to create the tag.

Assign tags to events

You can add a tag to the event when creating it or editing the event page. Required tags are shown with an asterisk and must be added when the event is created. 

Tip

More than one tag from a group can be added to an event. 

After assigning tags to your events, you can filter by tags to view all events with or without those tags.

Assign tags to a new event

1. Select New Event and enter your event details.

2. Select any required tags in the Tags section.

3. Select the Add a tag button.

4. Select a tag group from the dropdown or type the tag's name. Tag options auto-populate.

Assign tags to an existing event

1. Select an event from the Events page and choose View event.

2. Select the Add a tag button at the top. 

3. Select a tag group from the dropdown or type the tag's name. Tag options auto-populate.

Enable tag dots

By enabling Tag dots, you can preview which tags are assigned to an event based on the colors next to their name.

1. On the Events page, use the Event View dropdown at the top right of the calendar to switch to Month view.

2. Select the Setting button.

3. In the dropdown, check the Tag dots box.

   

Manage Church Center categories

In Church Center, people can filter events by category or campus to find events that interest them.

To view which tags can be used to filter in Church Center:

1. Select the ⚙️ gear icon on the Events page and choose Tags from the dropdown menu.

2. Review the tags in the Church Center filters section on the left side of the page.

To make an existing tag a Church Center filter, select the Church Center icon next to the tag.

• The tag is enabled as a filter when the icon appears in color.

• A gray icon indicates that the tag isn't currently a Church Center category.
