# Organize tags and custom fields

Define shared classification and extra information for your registers.

> **Access:** organization administrator. Subject to enabled modules and your plan.

## Choose the right tool

A **tag** groups items under a shared label. A **custom field** adds structured information to a supported object type. Define their purpose before creating them to avoid unnecessary variations.

## Manage tags

An administrator opens **My company → Tags**. Create clear labels, then apply them to objects offering this classification. Use tag filters to find the desired scope.

## Manage custom fields

1. Open **My company → Custom fields** as an administrator.
2. Choose the affected object type.
3. Create a field with a clear label and an appropriate offered type.
4. Save, then open a record of that type to check the field and enter a value.
5. Check filters or columns offering the field.

## Edit or delete

Before deleting a tag or field, identify its use in records and filters. Inform affected users and check views after changes.

## Expected outcome

Members use shared terminology and comparable data. Technologies, when offered in organization settings, complement classification for the relevant objects.
