Definition

What are tags in a CRM?

A CRM tag is a short, free label you attach to a record to group it with others, such as 'repeat buyer' or 'trade show'. Unlike a status, a record can carry many tags at once. In CIPHER CRM tags are shared across modules, so the same tag can mark a lead, the customer it becomes, and that customer's projects.

CIPHER CRM uses one tag system across the whole product. Tags work on leads, customers, projects, tasks, sales documents and expenses. To add one, you start typing on the record, pick an existing tag or create a new one on the spot, and it applies straight away with no save button. Your team can keep the tag list clean in settings, so you do not end up with 'VIP', 'vip' and 'V.I.P.' side by side. Every list in CIPHER CRM can then be filtered by tag, and tags are part of full text search. A label such as 'warranty' or 'spring promo' lets you gather the matching leads, jobs and bills in moments. Tags sit on top of your statuses and custom fields as a flexible extra layer. CIPHER CRM is used by 192+ businesses across 31 industries and rated 4.8 out of 5.

Tags in CIPHER CRM
The problem

What happens without tags

Everyone types labels a little differently, so a search for one spelling misses half the records.

You want to find every customer from last spring's trade fair, but that fact lives in someone's notes.

Each part of your old setup labels things its own way, so a lead's label does not follow it to the customer or the job.

Adding a new label means asking someone to change the setup, so people stop bothering.

Spreadsheet colors and comment cells stand in for labels, and nobody can filter by them with any confidence.

  • Tags on six kinds of record

    Leads, customers, projects, tasks, documents and expenses all take tags from the same list.

  • Filter any list by tag

    Every list offers a tag filter, so you narrow to the records with that label in one step.

Why CIPHER

Why tags are better in CIPHER

In a lot of CRMs, tags live module by module and drift into a mess of spellings. We keep one list and use it everywhere.

  • The same tags in every module

    A tag means the same thing on a lead, an invoice or an expense, because they all draw from one list.

  • Kept clean at the source

    Managing tags centrally in settings lets you decide which tags the team uses, so the list stays short and clear.

  • No save step

    A tag applies the moment you pick it, like every other action in CIPHER CRM.

  • Filters that match

    Because every list filters by tag the same way, what you learn on leads works on expenses too.

How it works

How tags work in CIPHER CRM

  1. Open a record

    Go to any lead, customer, project, task, document or expense.

  2. Type a tag

    Start typing in the tags field, then choose an existing tag or create a new one.

  3. Keep the list tidy

    Review your tags in settings from time to time so the team sticks to one agreed set.

  4. Filter by it

    On any list, pick the tag in the filter to see only the records that carry it.

What are CRM tags?

CRM tags are short labels you add to records to group them in ways a status cannot. In CIPHER CRM you can tag leads, customers, projects, tasks, documents and expenses, create a tag just by typing it, and filter any of those lists by tag in one step.

Which records can I tag in CIPHER CRM?

You can tag leads, customers, projects, tasks, sales documents such as proposals, estimates and invoices, and expenses. All of them draw from the same central tag list, so one label means the same thing wherever your team uses it. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with a 4.8/5 average rating.

How do I create a new tag?

Start typing in the tags field on a record. If the tag already exists, pick it from the suggestions. If it does not, you can create it right there. The tag applies to the record the moment you choose it, with no save button to press.

How do I stop duplicate or misspelled tags?

Tags in CIPHER CRM are managed centrally in settings. That gives your team one place to review the list and keep it to an agreed set, so records do not end up split across 'VIP', 'vip' and similar spellings of the same idea.

Can I filter lists by tag?

Yes. Every list in CIPHER CRM that carries tags has a tag filter, including leads, customers, projects, tasks, documents and expenses. Pick a tag and the list narrows to the records that carry it. Tags are also covered by full text search.

What is the difference between a tag and a status?

A status is the one stage a record is at, and a record has only one at a time. Tags are extra labels, and a record can carry several. Use statuses to track where work stands in your pipeline, and tags for anything else you want to group records by.

Do tags need any setup before we use them?

No. Tags work from the first day in every CIPHER CRM plan. You can start typing tags on records straight away and tidy the list in settings whenever you like, so there is no planning session needed before the team starts labeling.
