My idea is: Allow the user to assign colors to tags
I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea: All users that use tags to track different types of actions taken by the user or to track products purchased, clicks to links, etc.
Why I think they would benefit from this idea: Using colors makes very easy to identify important information. If all tags have the same color, this forces you to read and we are faster identifying colors .
Any code or resources to support this idea: No code
Are you willing to work on this idea?: I can help with ideas but no code.
Example 1: Tags with colors on Tags pane:
Note: I have installed tag manager plugin.
I’d probably take the same approach as e.g. gmail, i.e. colors as an optional visual highlighting, but with no semantic meaning.
This would mean no sorting by colors (and by the way, I would not hide that sorting under “number of contacts”).
But I suspect that you have something else in mind, a sort of 2-dimensional tagging, or categorization - is that right @victorburgos ?
→ Please explain what you would like to achieve, so we can much better discuss the best solutions for this!
Hi @ekke, thinking about it, I believe that using the existing mechanism to assign colors to categories, segments and campaigns can be used to accomplish the initial idea.
For example, when the user creates a new tag he or she can select from existing categories or create a new one.
If there is a need to create a new category, the user can create it with it’s color and description.
Wen the user is managing tags inside Tags pane, there will be a new column called category and each category will be displayed with it’s corresponding category color.
When selecting a tag category, the other tags will disappear.
Filters, categories and colors make it easy to have context when you have a user with hundreds of tags. Example 4: Filter tags based on category (filtered categories)
