You can apply any number of tags to tasks in your Workspace to colorfully identify and quickly categorize tasks.

The beauty of task tags is that they're completely customizable.

Tags shine when you need to group, view, or manage related tasks that don't have a strict status, location, or Custom Fields in your Workspace.

For example, you could use tags to mark tasks with a recurring schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly.

Tip: Check out more examples of how other people use tags in ClickUp to organize their tasks.
