Using the ‘batch tags’ link is a great way to edit and manage your tags.

Adding and Deleting a Tag

The easiest way to add a new tag to a group of time slips is to create a report view that contains all the time slips you want to change, and use the batch tags options. Suppose we want to add the tag new to the following time slips:

After clicking the ‘batch tag’ link, we will see a drop down window that displays the current tags in the report. To add our new tag, we enter it into the tag entry field and check the “add to all” box:

Now if we look back at the time slips in our report, they are all taged with new.

Similarly, if we want to delete a tag from a collection of time slips, create the desired report. Click on the ‘batch tag’ and drag the tag you wish to remove to the trash can on the right:

Editing a Tag

If we want to change the name of a tag, or edit a typo, our best approach is to use the ‘batch tag’ option. Start by creating a report of all the time slips tagged with the typo, and then click ‘batch tag’:

In the ‘batch tag’ drop down, enter the name of the new tag, say fixed and click add. You will see fixed appear among the other tags. Now to replace typo with fixed, simply drag typo over to fixed.

After you refresh your tags, you will see that all instances of typo have been replaced by fixed.
