Setting up categories and tags

Sort your projects, companies and contacts into logical groups with Categories and Tags.

What are Categories and Tags?

Categories and Tags are the way you can logically group and classify records in tiny+. A Category is a logical collection of related Tags.

For example, a Category could be Location and its related Tags could be Sydney, London and New York.

Categories and Tags can be set up and related to all types of records in tiny+, unlocking powerful reporting and data organisation capabilities.

Also, Categories can be applied to different types of records. For example, the Location category above could be applicable to both Companies and Projects.
