Examples of People Tags

  • Location - If you have a global team or clients based in various locations, you can tag people and projects to quickly find people in the right location. For example, Auckland (specific city or region), remote (specific work arrangement), or Office 1 (specific office).

  • Seniority - If you want to assign someone with a particular experience level to a project, you can use tags such as "senior", "junior", "associate" or "trainee" to differentiate the knowledge or experience level of people within your business.

  • Qualifications and certifications e.g. PMI, CISSP, bachelor’s degree

Examples of Project Tags

  • Project size - Particularly useful for reporting, you can tag projects based on their size to view how different sized projects are impacting your business financially.

  • Project priority - Use priority tags to make it easier to filter your projects list and focus on your most important projects.

Tagging for Reporting

You can generate reports for people and projects with specific tags or combinations of tags.

This is available for the following reports:

  • Project Explorer

  • Project Totals

  • People Explorer

  1. Click on the Fields button in the top-left.

  2. Ensure that the Tags checkbox is ticked.

  3. A tags column will appear in the report. Select the tags to filter your report with using the drop-down.
