Open with AI:ClaudeChatGPT

Tags provide a flexible way to categorize and filter episodes across your shows. Use them to track content themes, production status, priority levels, or any organizational scheme that fits your workflow.

Creating Tags

From Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings > Tags
  2. Click New Tag
  3. Enter the tag name
  4. Choose a color
  5. Click Create

Inline Creation

You can also create tags on the fly while editing an episode:

  1. Open an episode's detail view
  2. Click the Tags field
  3. Type a new tag name
  4. Click Create "[tag name]" in the dropdown
  5. The tag is created and applied immediately

Tag Properties

Each tag has:

PropertyDescription
NameThe display label (e.g., "Urgent", "Interview", "Sponsored")
ColorA color for visual identification on the Kanban board and lists

Available Colors

Tags can be assigned one of the following colors:

  • Red
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Purple
  • Pink
  • Gray

Colors help you create visual groupings — for example, all content-type tags in blue, all priority tags in red/orange/yellow.

Filtering Episodes by Tags

Tags become powerful when used for filtering:

Kanban Board Filters

  4. The board shows only episodes with matching tags

Filter modes:

  • Any of — Episode has at least one of the selected tags
  • All of — Episode has all of the selected tags
  • None of — Episode does not have any of the selected tags

Calendar Filters

The calendar view also supports tag filtering, letting you see only tagged episodes on specific dates.

Dashboard

The attention list and activity feed can be filtered by tag to focus on specific categories of work.

Use Cases

Content Type Tagging

Interview | Solo | Panel | Q&A | Sponsored | Bonus

Track what kind of content each episode is, useful for reporting and scheduling variety.

Priority Levels

Urgent (red) | High (orange) | Normal (green) | Low (gray)

Flag episodes that need immediate attention versus those that can wait.

Production Notes

Needs Intro | Guest Confirmed | Re-record | Client VIP

Track production-specific information that doesn't fit into pipeline stages.

Seasonal or Series Organization

Season 1 | Season 2 | Mini-Series | Special

Group episodes into logical collections beyond the show structure.

Managing Tags

Editing Tags

  1. Go to Settings > Tags
  2. Click a tag to edit
  3. Change the name or color
  4. Changes apply everywhere the tag is used

Deleting Tags

  1. Go to Settings > Tags
  2. Click the delete icon on a tag
  3. Confirm deletion

Deleting a tag removes it from all episodes. This cannot be undone.

Tag Organization

Tags are scoped to your organization — all shows and team members share the same tag set. This ensures consistency across your production pipeline.

Tags on the Kanban Board

Tags appear as small colored badges on episode cards:

  • Up to 3 tags are shown directly on the card
  • Additional tags are shown as a "+N" indicator
  • Tag colors provide quick visual scanning across columns
  • Combined with swimlanes, tags offer powerful episode grouping

Tips

  • Keep tag names short — They need to fit on small badges (2-3 words max)
  • Use consistent naming — Agree on tag conventions with your team
  • Don't over-tag — 3-5 tags per episode is usually sufficient
  • Use colors meaningfully — Red for urgent, green for good-to-go, etc.
  • Review tags periodically — Remove unused tags to keep the list manageable
