<p>I can see a use for TAGS to associate various activities to a special project or tally. But otherwise I found no use</p></div>mhoggietag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485326382020-08-09T04:24:26Z2020-08-09T04:24:26ZWho is using tags?

<p>As a regular user of the forums I have not noted much use of Tags,</p>
<p>Tags are a filter mechanism. I envisage their primary use is in Income and category reports to filter a subset of transactions.</p>
<p>An example may be expenditure on a holiday, so you are likely to have fuel, rent, food etc. These appear in your Income and expense reports but there is no way to just see holiday expenses, using a tag of say Hol2020 and assigned this to each transaction then in the I & E report setting a filter tag of Hol2020 will only show these transactions.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485326382020-08-09T06:38:17Z2020-08-09T06:38:17ZWho is using tags? How are you using them?<div><p>Like the others, I have used tags so as to get a true idea of expenditure say of (hopefully) a non recurring event. In this case my daughters wedding last year! Phew, still not fully recovered financially.</p>
<p>The hardest thing to do with Tags is to delete them. You use the Extension Find & Replace to do it, but as I need to delete them so infrequently I can never quite remember the procedure.</p>
<p>If you want to experiment with tags I would suggest you create a new Test File & have a play so as to make sure you are conversant with both adding & removing them.</p>
