SQUAVA provides a way to assign defined tags to data within the software to help group, filter, and organize information easier and quicker.  

Currently, tags can be assigned to:

• Project Tasks
• Employees

Step-by-Step Guide:

Create/Edit Tags:

You can create as many tags as you'd like for your employees and tasks to help you group specific information for reporting.  To create/edit tags, simply click on the 'Mega Menu' tab and then click on Tags sub-tab to open the Tags Manager.
 

To add a new tag, simply click on the green 'New Tag' button in the top right area of the page (as seen in the above image).  It will open the dialog window shown below.

Give your tag a name, and then assign it to be used for User Tags and/or Task Tags.  Click Save when finished.

If you need to edit one of your existing tags, simply click the Edit button from the list to make the desired changes.

If you need to delete one of your existing tags, simply click the drop-down arrow in the Edit button and choose the 'Delete' option.
 

Apply Task Tags:

You can add a tag to a task while setting up a new project and budget, or to an existing project task. To add a tag, simply go to the budget section of the desired project.  Then, select the 'Budget' button of a proposal (or budget mod) along the top of the project budget view or open a contracted budget from the 'Budget Summary' tab by clicking on the budget name. 
 

From the 'Budget' tab, simply click on the tag icon next to the task name to which you would like to add a tag. 


 

Be sure to click 'Save' when you are finished adding any tags.  Tasks which have assigned tags will be a darker gray color.


 

Apply Employee Tags:

To add a tag to an employee, simply click on the Company tab and then the Manage Users sub-tab. 



Click on the pen and paper icon on the far right for the employee to which you'd like to apply a tag. A new dialog window will open to edit your employee - shown below.



Scroll down to the 'Tags' section (first image below) and you can choose any applicable tags you'd like to have associated with your employee. Click 'Save' when finished. You will now see the tags you associated with the employee next to their name as shown below in the second image.


 

There is no limit to how many tags an employee can have (as long as they have been defined in the Tags Manager).  If you need to remove any tags from an employee, click the pen and paper icon to edit the employee again, scroll down to the 'Tags' section and click on the 'X' next to the tag you'd like to have removed.  Click 'Save' when finished.
