A tag is a keyword you can attach to any document inside a workspace. It allows you to group similar documents based on certain criteria, apply filters, and control access to a set of documents sharing the same tag.

There are two types of tags you can use:

  • Workspace (WS) tags, visible to all workspace users. Changes made to WS tags affect all users. You can share such tags with people outside the platform.

  • Personal tags, visible only to individual users. They let you customize your Dashboard without affecting your team and can be shared with others, both within the Workspace and externally. Such tags contain a profile picture of the person who created them.

Each workspace has four default tags:

  • A tag with the workspace's name;

  • Drafts;

  • Archive;

  • Trash (this tag marks deleted documents).

How to create tags

To create a new tag, use the "+ Create tag" option on the Dashboard.

The access level determines if the tag will be a WS tag or a Personal tag.

How to use tags

There can be various scenarios on how to use tags.

#1 Dashboard cleanup

In a busy team creating multiple customer journey maps and personas inside the same workspace, your Dashboard may become cluttered at some point. Use tags to organize it.

To clean up your Dashboard, hide the tags you don’t need.

Option 1: Configuring your Dashboard

You can organize your Dashboard the way you want by hiding the tags (and documents attached to them) only for yourself.

Open tag configuration settings on the Dashboard:

And hide tags you don’t want to see on your dash.

Hiding tags also hides the documents with those tags, keeping them out of your way. This won't impact your team members who may still need those documents.

Option 2: Configuring the Dashboard for the entire team

If the entire team wants specific tags to be hidden from the Dashboard, you can configure this on the workspace level. To do this, go to Workspace > Taxonomy > Tags.

In both scenarios, you can also arrange the tags in the desired display order by dragging those.

#2 More flexible work

You can use tags, along with other grouping and filtering options, to organize your Dashboard in the most convenient way.

For instance, if the full list of maps/personas is overwhelming

multiple documents

You can…

  • Filter documents by owners (leaving only those owned by you).

  • Group them by tags and sort by status.

  • Hide unnecessary columns.

The best part? You can save this customized View to replace the default one, making it much easier to navigate:

#3 Managing document access

Tags serve as a way to share your documents with others in a similar way that it used to be with projects.

To share tags, you can invite people by email or give them a direct link.
