# How to Create Custom Tags for Jobs

> Add color-coded tags to FieldPulse jobs so a warranty call stands out from a new install on the schedule, and filter the Jobs list by one tag.

> **Who uses this:** Tags are added while creating or editing a job. Deleting a saved tag from the whole account happens in **Company Settings**, which only Admins can see. **Availability:** All regions.

When every job on the calendar looks the same, it is hard to tell a warranty call from a new install at a glance. A custom tag is a label you attach to a [job](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/job-management), and each tag carries a color, so your [schedule](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/scheduling-and-dispatching) shows the kind of work in front of your team without anyone opening a record.

## Overview

You create a custom tag on the job itself. Type the tag name into the **Add Tags** field on a job record, pick a color, and save the job. The tag then appears on the job record and as a color-coded dot on the schedule, and it joins the list of previously used tags so you can reuse it on any future job. Once jobs are tagged, the **By Tags** tab on the Jobs page filters the list down to a single tag.

## Add a tag to a job

1. While creating or editing a job, scroll to the **Tags** section and select the **Add Tags** field.

2. Type the name of the tag you want to create.

3. Press **Enter** to add the tag. Repeat for each additional tag you want on the job.

4. Choose a color for the new tag.

5. To reuse a tag you already created, select it from the list of previously used tags instead of typing a new one.

6. Scroll to the bottom of the job and select **Save Job**.

Any tag you create on a job record is added to the previously used tags list, so it is available on every future job record.

## Where tags appear

A tag appears in two places once the job is saved. The job record lists its tags alongside the job details, and the schedule shows one color-coded dot per tag on the job.
