Creating tags

Creating a new tag in a document or on the documents page.

On this page

There are two places to create a new tag: in a document, at the moment you assign it, or on the documents page.

In a document#

Open a document and click “Tags” at the right of the header bar (next to “Filter”). A panel opens with the document’s tags and a text field.

(A) The “Tags” button.

(B) Assigned tags; the × removes a tag from the document.

(C) The text field.

Type the word. Matching existing tags appear below the field; a click assigns one. If the word does not exist yet, the first entry reads “Create “Rent” as a new tag”. Clicking it or pressing Enter creates the tag and assigns it to the document.

On the documents page#

There is a “+” below the tag stacks. It creates a tag without opening a document; Documont confirms with “Tag created successfully.” The tag gets a stack of its own as soon as a document carries it.

Rules#

  • A tag is 1 to 50 characters long. Capitalization makes no difference: “taxes” and “Taxes” are the same tag.
  • A document carries up to 50 tags, your filing up to 500.
  • A new tag is available everywhere at once: in every open window of the web app, in the filters and on the Apple Watch.
  • The × on a tag removes it from the document; the tag itself stays. Renaming and deleting a tag are not possible at the moment.
