# Tag members > Give a member a tag, or take one off, from their page, from their row on the list, or for many people at once, and keep the club's list of tags. Who this is for: Anyone with “Add and change members” or “See members and contacts” or “Club settings” (by default: Administrator, Head Coach, Casual Staff, Reporting). Last checked in release 2026.10.23, on 23 October 2026. Source: https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/tags/ A tag is a short label on a person, such as "Pennant", "Volunteer" or "Committee". Tags let you find a group on the member list, filter a message to them, and count them in reports. Each tag is saved the moment you add or take it off. ## Before you start - Seeing tags needs the permission to see members. Adding and taking off tags needs the permission to add and change members: the Administrator, Head Coach and Casual Staff roles can by default. - Everyone who can see members sees every tag on everyone. Do not use a tag for something private about a person. ## On a member's page 1. Open the member's page. The **Tags** card is on the **Overview** tab. 2. Press in the box **Add a tag: choose one or type a new one**. It lists the tags the club uses that this person does not have yet. 3. Type to narrow the list, then press a tag, or use the arrow keys and Enter. 4. To make a tag the club does not have yet, type it and choose **Add new tag “…”**. 5. The tag appears as a chip and the card says **Saved**. The list stays open, so you can add another. To take a tag off, press × on its chip. It is taken off at once. Without the permission to change members, the card says **You can see these, not change them**, and the chips have no ×. ## From the member list On a wide screen, the list has a **Tags** column. Point at a row and a **+** appears at the end of its Tags cell; on a phone, each card has its **+** on its Tags line. 1. Press **+**. A small box opens with a search box, **Find or create a tag**, over a list of the club's tags. Tags the person has already are greyed and marked **has it**. 2. Type to find a tag, and press it, or press Enter on the one marked. 3. A tag that does not exist yet is offered as **Create new tag “…”**. Choosing it asks, for example, **Create the new tag “Social tennis” and add it to Noah Kowalski?** Press **Create**, or **Cancel**. 4. The box says **Added …** and closes. The row shows the new tag, and the counts in the Filters panel follow. ![Rows of the member list with a Tags column. On Noah Kowalski's row the "+" has opened a small box asking "Create the new tag “Social tennis” and add it to Noah Kowalski?" with Cancel and Create.](https://sportsclubos.net/help/img/members-tag-popover-1600.webp) *A tag the club has not used before is created only after you say so. Shown in release 2026.10.29 · Members & contacts · as an Administrator.* Escape closes the box without adding anything. ## For many people at once Tick the people on the list, choose a tag from **Add tag…** in the bar that appears, and press **Apply**. See [Change several members at once](https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/change-several/index.md). ## How tags are written - A tag is one line of 40 characters at most, and cannot hold < or >. A person can have up to 30. - A tag has one spelling across the club. Typing "pennant" when the club already uses "Pennant" gives the person "Pennant". - Tags are listed in the order they were given. ## Tags a rule gave A chip marked ⟳ was given by a tag rule. Point at it to see which rule, for example **Added by rule: Members who have ever booked a squash court.** Pressing × on it asks first, because the rule would give it back: **Taken off here, it comes back at the next run while the rule holds.** Choose **Take it off anyway**, **Keep it**, or **Edit the rule instead** (for someone who may change tag rules). If you give the same tag by hand as well, no rule takes it off. See [How tag rules work](https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/how-tag-rules-work/index.md). ## The club's list of tags The tags offered everywhere are the club's own list plus every tag already on someone. 1. Open Admin > Settings and the **Tags & fields** tab. This needs the permission to change the club's settings, which the Administrator has by default. 2. Under **Member tags**, type a tag in **New tag, e.g. Pennant** and press **Add tag**. Press × on a tag to take it off the list. 3. Press **Save settings**. Taking a tag off the club's list does not take it off anyone who has it. A tag a switched-on tag rule gives joins the list by itself. The same tab has **Extra member fields**: club-specific details to record on every member, such as a locker number. Type a name in **Field name** and press **Add field**, then **Save settings**. Each field then appears under **Club fields** in a member's **Edit details**. ## Tags a login's page shows On Admin > Users, a login's page shows **Member tags** for the member record it is linked to, and changes them the same way.
