Overview
A workitem can be identified from the many fields, and the tag is one such field that can be used to sort the workitems in an Agile workitem. Tagging can be a great way to associate workitems with a feature, customer, or anything important that you would like to remember. You can ‘tag’ a card with any value/label you want, to retrieve the workitem specifically filtering cards on tags.
Note: Tags won’t be available on workitem Export/Import and Multiline Add Item. However, tags will be available on Edit in read-only mode.
Steps to Add Tags to a Workitem
To add a tag, while creating or modifying a workitem,
- Type text in the free-flowing text box next to the Tags icon and press ENTER or SPACEBAR.
- The tag appears along with a cross mark.
- It is much easier to select the required tag from the Auto-complete list. The tags already created for workitems in your project are listed as you type.
- To delete the tag, click the cross mark.
when the cursor turns into a hand pointer. You cannot edit a tag, it’s quick to delete and add a new tag instead.
Note: A maximum of 25 tags can be added to each workitem.
If you type a duplicate tag in the same workitem and try to press ENTER, it will not be accepted and will highlight (in yellow color) the existing tag in the text box.
Save the workitem after you add your tags.
Viewing Tags on Execution Board
If a tag is added to any workitem on the Execution board, then the card would display a tag icon at the top portion of your card, and hovering over it would display all tags added for that card as read-only.
