Organise links with tags
Use tags to group links, QR codes and pages by campaign, client or channel, and filter the list down to what you are actually working on.
After a few months, a link list becomes an archaeology exercise. Tags are the cheapest fix: a couple of words per link, applied when you create it, and the list stays navigable for years.
A convention that survives
Pick one axis and stick to it. The usual ones:
- By campaign —
spring-sale,black-friday - By client —
acme,northwind - By channel —
email,instagram,print - By location —
store-manchester,store-leeds
Two tags per item is usually plenty: one for what it belongs to, one for where it lives. acme plus print tells you almost everything.
Resist a third axis. Tag schemes collapse when they try to describe everything.
Applying them
Tags can be set when you create a link, QR code or page, and changed later from the edit screen. When importing in bulk, include a tags column — tagging 400 links after the fact is an afternoon you will not enjoy.
Filtering
The list pages have a tag filter. Select a tag and the list narrows to items carrying it. That is the whole point: acme plus print should get you to the six things you need in two clicks.
Rules
- Up to ten tags per item.
- Up to 25 characters each.
- Tags are normalised, so
Spring Saleandspring-saledo not become two separate tags.
When to do it
At creation. Every time. Tagging is trivial in the moment and tedious in bulk, and an untagged backlog rarely gets fixed — it just gets bigger until the list becomes something you search rather than browse.
Frequently asked questions
How many tags can one link have?
Up to ten, each up to 25 characters.
Can I tag QR codes and pages too?
Yes. Tags work the same way across links, QR codes and landing pages.
Can I rename a tag everywhere at once?
Not currently. Tags are applied per item, so a rename means re-tagging the items that use it.
