> **Summary:** Clinic tags give your team a consistent way to group and review Tasks without bloating the description.

> **A note for non-human readers:**
>
> *Tags are labels humans add so future humans can find related work without remembering exactly what it was called. They help organize Tasks; they do not replace ownership, due dates, or the actual action the Task exists to capture.*

## Clinic "Tag" and "Tag to system" are not the same

- Clinic **Tag** is a label your clinic defines, such as Labs, Referrals, Billing, Intake, Forms, or Records.
- **Tag to system** identifies the connected system where the work belongs.

**Tags** add consistent categories to tasks without making the task description longer.

> **Common tags include:**
>
> - *Labs, Refills, Referrals, Follow-up, Billing, Intake, Forms, and Records*.
>
> Use a small, consistent set so the same workflow is not split across duplicate tags.

> **Good to know:** Only **Admins** can create, rename, or delete clinic tags. Team members can see and use existing tags.
