With tags you can easily categorize and filter your roadmap based on custom information. Tags are flexible – you can use them to add details such as: product owners, geographic locations and/or teams. These are just a few ideas. We're always happy to brainstorm more together! To add a tag, open the details of a bar or container. You must have edit access on a roadmap. Begin typing in the tags field to add or select a tag from the dropdown. If a tag has already been created, you can select it from the dropdown list. To create the tag, click your return key or enter a comma. Our best practice is to have the theme of the category at the beginning of each tag. You can decide between a dash, colon or other device to separate the subsets.   ![](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-29-2025-09-07-11-0542-PM.png?width=632&height=294&name=image-png-May-29-2025-09-07-11-0542-PM.png)   Admins are able to view and manage your list of tags by navigating to the Account Settings page. Under the **Standardize** tab, there is a separate **Tags** page. From here you can merge existing tags to standardize your roadmap, quickly edit tag names, or delete tags to keep your list organized. ![](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-29-2025-09-10-41-0203-PM.png?width=670&height=246&name=image-png-May-29-2025-09-10-41-0203-PM.png)   When Viewers see your tags, they appear clean and simply on the details screen: [![](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-29-2025-09-11-38-9986-PM.png?width=379&height=384&name=image-png-May-29-2025-09-11-38-9986-PM.png)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/692137755/805f3d3273dd545f7caaa1bc/Screen+Shot+2023-03-15+at+12.56.27+PM.png?expires=1722894300&signature=151742662efb46a0f4138434333128a4aec837abf733497f28551b50be45a75e) Use the **Filter** button to filter the roadmap by one or more tags. This is a great way to create a custom roadmap for discussion or exporting. Note that tags are roadmap-specific. You can filter tags on roadmaps and portfolio views.
