How to add or delete tags of runs in bulk
Tags are how you group runs across workflows and departments. Adding or removing them one run at a time is fine for a handful and painful for fifty, so the Runs page does it in bulk.
Add a tag to several runs
- Open the Runs page.
- Filter the list down to the runs you want, then select them with their checkboxes.
- Use the tag option in the bulk actions and choose the tag. Type a new one to create it.
Filtering before selecting is the important half. Getting the filter right and then selecting everything is far more reliable than picking rows out of a mixed list, and it is repeatable next month.
Remove a tag from several runs
With runs selected, the panel offers to remove the tags those runs carry. Check the list before clicking, since the buttons cover the tags across your whole selection rather than only the ones every run shares.
What to use run tags for
Run tags describe this instance of the work, which is what makes them different from tagging the workflow. The client it is for, the site, the quarter, the audit it belongs to. That is what lets you pull together every run connected to one customer even though they came from five different workflows.
Once runs are tagged, the Runs page can filter on more than one tag at a time. See Filtering the runs page with multiple tags.
