Properties offer flexible ways to add information and extract values from your calendar events with more flexibility!

In Tackle, you've got seven ways to add property values. Let's discuss them first

A tree select property is a field where you can add a tag and multiple sub-tags under each tag.

For example, you can use “Sales”, and differentiate between “Sales:Onboarding” or “Sales:Demo”. You can thus not only describe your event with one tag, but add more detailed description of what your team is doing to have more granular time insights.

The Text property is a field where you can write and store information as words or sentences, like notes, descriptions, or details about an event or task.

For example, A text property could be something like "Location Notes" where you can add specific details about the venue or meeting place for your calendar events. Similarly, you can use this property type to include various details like customer information, agenda specifics, meeting summaries, and more.

A single select property is a type where you can choose only one option from a predefined list of property values. It allows selecting a single value, status, or type from the available options.

For example, a single select property could be "Priority Level" where you can choose from options like "High," "Medium," or "Low" to designate the priority of a task or event.

A multi-select property is a type that allows you to choose multiple options from a predefined list of choices. It permits selecting more than one category, status, or type simultaneously from the available options.

An example of a multi-select property could be "Skills" where you can choose multiple options such as "Programming," "Design," and "Marketing" to indicate various skills relevant to a task or event.

The Number property is a type that you can use to input numerical values, such as quantities, or measurements related to an event or task.

For example, the "Meeting Cost" Number property could represent the monetary value associated with conducting a meeting. In this instance, it might assist you in tracking expenses like room rental fees, refreshments, or participant costs, helping you calculate the total expenditure for each meeting.

A checkbox property is a field that can be marked as either checked or unchecked, typically used to indicate a yes/no or true/false status.

For example, A "Billable" checkbox property could be used to signify whether the time spent on a particular task or activity is chargeable to a client or project. When checked, it indicates that the hours are billable, and when unchecked, it implies the hours are not billable.
​

A rating property is a field where you can assign a score or rating to an event or task based on a scale of 0 to 5 stars.

A "Meeting importance" rating property can help you use a scale of 1 to 5 stars, allowing you to rate the significance of a meeting or event. For instance, a 1-star rating might indicate low importance, while a 5-star rating could represent a highly crucial meeting.
