Using Batch Tags

Using the ‘batch tags’ link is a great way to edit and manage your tags.

Adding and Deleting a Tag

The easiest way to add a new tag to a group of time slips is to create a report view that contains all the time slips you want to change, and use the batch tags options. After clicking the ‘batch tagging’ link in the upper right hand corner of the Results window, a new window appears with all the tags that appear in the current report.

Dragging a tag to the trash can will delete that tag from all the entries in the current report. To add a new tag to all the entries, write your tag name in the text box and toggle the ‘add to all’ checkbox before clicking the add button.

Editing a Tag

If we want to change the name of a tag, or edit a typo, our best approach is to use the ‘batch tag’ option. Start by creating a report of all the time slips tagged with the typo, and then click ‘batch tag’:

In the ‘batch tag’ drop down, enter the name of the new tag, say fixed and click add. You will see fixed appear among the other tags. Now to replace typo with fixed, simply drag typo over to fixed.

After you refresh your tags, you will see that all instances of typo have been replaced by fixed.
