Priority and tags

Priority says how urgent a task is. Tags say what kind of work it is. Both show on the card and work in filters, swim lanes and reports.

01Priority#

Every task has one of five priorities: None, Urgent, High, Medium and Low. Set it from the priority field in the task. The card shows it next to the task key.

02Tags#

Click the tags field in a task to add or remove tags. A task picks from its own project's tags, so a website project and a support queue can each keep their own list.

03Manage a project's tags#

Open the project's ⋮ menu, pick Edit Project and go to the Tags tab to add, rename, recolor or remove tags.

Heads up Removing a tag from the project takes it off that project's tasks too.

04Put them to work#
