Organizing tasks
Not for gantt charts
The power of tags is only realized in a timeline matrix. In Gantt charts, redundancy is necessary, and tags offer little benefit.
Tags can be thought of as one-off, on-the-fly labeling. They work just like hashtags in popular social media posts.
Tags can be added in the Name and description of the Task.
The advantage of tags is the power they bring. Tags can be added to Tasks and Issues only (no Milestones or Goals). For example, you can create a view of all tasks with certain parameters, plus ones that include or exclude specific tags.
In addition, like Area labels, you can choose to hide #Tags based on the view. For example, if you’re in a view that shows just the tasks with the #Paint tag, then all the task names will omit the word Paint, leaving you with task names like Prime & 1st Coat and Final instead of Prime **Paint** and 1st Coat and Final **Paint**. This declutters the view without sacrificing explicitness since the reader already knows that all the tasks are Paint-related.
