Organize events with tags
Tags help you organize events based on a common purpose, such as campus or department. Set up tag groups based on that common purpose, and then assign those tags to your event. You can use the tags as filters on the administrator Calendar page and the Church Center Calendar page.
Important
Only organization administrators and Calendar administrators can create and edit tags.
Create a tag group
Tag groups hold similar tags in the same area. To create a new tag group:
Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Select the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right.
Select Tags from the left sidebar.
Select New tag group in the top right.
Enter the name of the tag group.
(Optional) Select Required to require at least one tag from this tag group to be used for every event. Required tag groups are denoted by a red asterisk next to their name.
Select Save.

Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Select the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right.

You can delete a tag group if you no longer need it.
Warning
If you remove the tag group, all tags in that group will be permanently deleted from all events. This cannot be undone.

You can add tags to tag groups if they correspond to one another. You can also add them to the Individual Tags section if you have a tag that doesn't fit with other tags. The method for adding a tag is the same wherever you add it.
Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Select the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right.
Select Tags from the left sidebar.
Select the Create a new tag field in the group where you want to add the tag.

Choose a color to represent the tag.
(Optional) Check the Church Center category box to allow people to filter by this tag on Church Center.
Select Save to create the tag.
Assign tags to events
You can add a tag to the event when creating it or editing the event page. Required tags are shown with an asterisk and must be added when the event is created.
Tip
More than one tag from a group can be added to an event.
After assigning tags to your events, you can filter by tags to view all events with or without those tags.

In the month view, you can preview your events' tags by displaying color-coded dots next to each event's name.

Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Select the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right.
Select Tags from the left sidebar.
Review the tags in the Church Center filters section at the top of the page.
To make an existing tag a Church Center filter, find the tag in its corresponding group and select the Church Center icon next to it.
The tag is enabled as a filter when the icon appears in green.
A gray icon indicates that the tag is not currently a Church Center category.
