Hello everyone

I have been using Supernotes for a few months and really enjoy the flexibility and versatility it provides for taking notes and organizing my thoughts. So, I want to ask you How do you use tags to categorize your notes?

I appreciate your support.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @jesica438, welcome to the Supernotes Community!

Tags are best used for categories notecards across different parents or for quickly filtering and refining lots of cards within a parent. I often tag my cards by location, or characteristics. e.g. I have a ā€œRestaurantsā€ parent card and a ā€œRecipesā€ parent card. Some of my restaurants and recipes child cards share tags such as ā€œJapaneseā€, ā€œItalianā€ or ā€œPastaā€.

You might find the following topic useful discussing the comparison between parents and tags:

Also @freisatz wrote up some excellent notecards on how to use tags, parents and more. Weā€™ve been meaning to publish this as a community resource since we think itā€™s presented and very well thought through. If you have any specific questions let us know and weā€™ll be happy to help :slight_smile:

Coming from Tana, I used to use tags for defining the type of a card. So my most common tags are:

  • insight
  • observation
  • decision
  • highlight
  • article
  • video
  • ā€¦

But I also use tags to signify a status like: draft, done, etc.

Tags can then be searched across all views. Looking forward to the custom collections for saving the searches.

For anything else I use Parents for categories and hierachies.
