How To Create Tags In Asana

Do you want to add more context to your tasks in Asana? Or do you want to categorize similar tasks together for your team members? In any case, you can create and use tags in your project. Follow our quick guide below, and we’ll show you how to create and add one to your workspace.

In Asana, you can create tasks within your project and assign them to your members. While a task alone is fine, giving them context or categorization can help everyone on your team progress with your project advancement.

With that in mind, Asana allows its users to create and add tags to tasks. This feature can help workspace members identify and categorize one task from another.

For example, you can create a tag for UI improvements, new features, bug fixes, and others. You can even add multiple tags to a task to overlap them.

Here’s our guide about creating and using tags in Asana.
