A tag is a task property that you can use to group tasks. Create tags to filter for tasks that share a common attribute on the Explore page.
For example, you want to identify all tasks that are maintained and run by your team. Create a tag for your team and apply it to your team's tasks.
A task can have up to 64 tags.
You can find all tasks that have a particular tag in one of the following ways:
•Click the name of the tag in the Tags column, in any row.
•Explore by tag, and in the list of tags that shows on the page, click the name of the tag.
