Tags Overview
Tags in the 3C Platform enable users to capture and segment customer data, providing enhanced filtering options and creating recurring fixed appointment tags for future scheduling. This guide explains how to access, configure, and use Tags effectively.
Tags are segmented into specific categories to improve data organization and enhance filtering capabilities. By assigning Tags to areas like Customers, Sites, Workorders, and Appointments, users can quickly locate and manage relevant information without navigating an overwhelming list. This segmentation ensures the Tag list remains concise and manageable, preventing redundancy and maintaining efficiency when accessing or filtering data across the platform.
Tags can be assigned to:
Customers
Sites
Work Orders
Appointments
Proposals
Equipment
Tasks
Agreements
Viewing Tag Settings
Tag settings allow you to manage all Tags used across the platform, including adding new ones or deleting unused Tags. Regularly cleaning up the Tag list—ideally once a month—helps maintain organization and ensures the list remains concise, preventing clutter and improving overall efficiency.
Navigate to the Tags section in Settings.
Use the left navigation bar to locate and open the Tags page.
Select Edit at the bottom right of the Tags screen to view or modify Tags.
In edit mode, add a new Tag description in the field next to the Tag name.
The Tagged column displays the total number of Tags applied for each specific Tag. To delete a Tag, hover over the recycle bin icon and click.
Adding/Editing New Tags
Click Edit on the desired screen (customer, site, etc.)
Open the Tag dropdown menu and type the desired Tag name.
Select the Tag from the dropdown menu to confirm.
Click Save.
Recurring Tags
Recurring Tags are assigned at the site level and are automatically applied to all future appointments for that site. When a new appointment is created, these Tags are copied over, eliminating the need to manually re-enter them for each appointment.
Why Use Recurring Tags?
Save Time: Automates the process of adding Tags, ensuring consistency and reducing administrative workload.
Enhance Communication: Highlights important details for dispatchers, such as site-specific requirements or equipment.
Optimize Technician Assignment: Helps identify factors like an oil furnace or crawl space, ensuring the right technician is dispatched with the necessary expertise or equipment to handle the job.
By using recurring Tags, your team can streamline scheduling and ensure critical site details are never overlooked.
Tag Strategies
Tags can be strategically applied to various areas to improve organization and optimize operations:
Customer Tags: Segment customer information, such as identifying property managers or billing-approved homeowners.
Site Tags: Highlight site-specific details or recurring appointment needs, like future sales opportunities or equipment locations.
Appointment Tags: Distinguish between one-time and recurring Tags to streamline scheduling and dispatch processes.
Work Order Tags: Mark opportunities identified in technician notes for future follow-ups.
Proposal Tags: Categorize proposals by type or status for better tracking.
Equipment Tags: Flag equipment details, such as factory recalls or special configurations.
Task and Agreement Tags: Organize tasks and agreements for additional segmentation, if needed.
Implementing these strategies ensures data is accessible, actionable, and aligned with business objectives.
These examples illustrate how Tags can be tailored to provide quick, visual insights into appointment specifics, aiding in dispatch and scheduling efficiency.
