Using tags to organize entries

Tags are a fundamental part of organising in Bundled. Unlike some notetaking apps where tags are just a plain-text label, here they can be used for color coordination, sorting, grouping, and even to add task and workflow features to entries and notes.

But it's easy to get started with tags - most bundles only need a few before they become much easier to scan and filter.

How to create a tag

At the top of any bundle page, click + Tag.
In the "Create tag" sheet, type the name for your tag.
A color is generated automatically, but you can click the color to select a different one.
Click Create in the bottom right. And that's it, you're done.

Using tags

Once you've created some tags in a bundle, you'll see them at the top of the bundle page and note editor. You can click them to filter notes, and click them in the note editor to add or remove them from a note.

If you filter by multiple tags in a bundle, you can choose whether to show notes that have any of the selected tags, or only show notes that have all of the selected tags.

Default tags

Tags can be set up as defaults for new entries. This is useful when most entries in your bundle should start with the same label, such as Planned, Unsorted, or Idea.

Tag priority

You can control the priority of tags in a bundle by dragging and dropping them in the bundle settings - which you'll learn about on the next page. Tag priority affects the following:

The order of tags in the tag list
The order that tags appear on entries
How entries are color-coded when colorful note backgrounds are enabled
How entries are grouped when grouping by tags is enabled

If a bundle looks visually inconsistent, adjusting tag priority is often a better fix than changing lots of individual entries by hand.

Tag organisation & color coordination

There are many ways to use tags and tag colors for organisation, including an option to "tint" entry backgrounds with tag colors, to group entries by tags, and even to use tags to manage workflows and tasks.

Just like most features in Bundled, you can configure tags and settings differently for each bundle, depending on the content or level of organisation required.
