Tags and Marks

Marks are custom colored labels created at the project level and attached to shifts and employees (via the Scheduled Team Members tab when editing a schedule). They are used for categorization and filtering — marks are not a module.


How Marks Work

Marks are created in project settings (Projects → select a project → Marks+ Add mark → name + color → Save). Each project has its own set of marks.

Marks are attached to:
Shifts — when creating or editing a shift (Marks field)
Employees — via the Scheduled Team Members tab in the schedule editor

A single shift can have multiple marks. No paid module is required for basic mark usage.

Purposes:
1. Categorization — visually identify the type of work (branch, department, location, special instructions)
2. Filtering — filter shifts on the schedule calendar by mark type

For full activity tracking (templates, Activity Report), the Activity module ($0.50/employee/month) is required.


Configuring Mark Permissions for Employees

By default, only managers and administrators can add marks. To allow employees:

1
Click your company nameModulesSettings tab.

As an Employee

If the permission is enabled: open the shift → Marks field → add or remove.


Assigning Marks to Employees in a Schedule

1
Go to Schedules → click the pencil icon next to the schedule.
2
Open the Scheduled Team Members tab.
3
In the Marks column next to each employee, select marks.

Marks assigned at the employee level in the schedule are applied to their shifts in that schedule.


Using Marks in Filters

On the Schedule page → Filters (left panel) → Select shift marks → choose the mark to filter by.

On the Activity page → Marks filter → select marks to display only matching activities.


Marks and Pay Rates

Marks are a categorization and filtering tool. They do not affect salary calculations and are not linked to rate multipliers. For rate configuration, use Salary Settings.
