Tag System
Tags are metadata attached to questions. They power filtering in the Paper Builder, make search precise, and provide reporting insights. Configure which tags your organization uses and how they behave.
Configuring Tags
Tag configuration is done from the Tags page in the sidebar (requires Admin or Owner role).
- 1
Go to Tags
Click Tags in the sidebar navigation.
- 2
Enable or disable a tag type
Toggle the Enabled switch next to any tag type. Disabled tags do not appear on the question creation form.
- 3
Make a tag required
Toggle the Required switch. Required tags must be filled in before a question can be saved.
- 4
Control visibility
Toggle Visible to control whether the tag is shown to Teachers and Reviewers (even if they cannot edit it).
- 5
Save changes
Changes save automatically. The question form updates immediately for all users in your organization.
Required vs Visible vs Enabled
Three independent toggles control each tag's behavior:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Shows the tag field on the question form. If off, the field is hidden entirely and not usable. |
| Required | Makes the field mandatory before saving a question. A warning appears if it's left empty. |
| Visible | Controls whether the tag value is displayed on question cards and in the paper view. Does not affect whether it can be edited. |
These settings apply organization-wide for their respective roles. Owners and Admins always see all tags regardless of Visible setting.
Custom Tag Types
If the built-in tag types don't cover your needs, create your own.
- 1
Go to Tags → Add Custom Tag
Scroll to the bottom of the Tags page and click + Add Custom Tag.
- 2
Enter a label
Type the tag name (e.g., "Board", "Exam Code", "Chapter Number"). Keep it concise.
- 3
Add a description (optional)
A short description helps team members understand what values to enter for this tag.
- 4
Configure enabled/required/visible
Same settings as built-in tags — enable, mark as required, and control visibility.
- 5
Save
Click Save. The custom tag appears on the question form immediately.
Filtering by Tags
Tags power the filter system across Questions and Paper Builder.
- filter_list
In Questions list: Use the filter sidebar to select one or more values per tag type. All conditions must match (AND logic).
- filter_list
In Paper Builder: Same filter panel. Use it to narrow down questions before selecting them for a paper.
- filter_list
Multi-value filter: Select multiple values in one tag type (e.g., Subject = Physics OR Chemistry) — results show either.
