Learn how to use the Tags component in Praxsuite forms to categorize records with multiple labels. Configure tag limits, custom tag creation, suggestions, formatting rules, and validation while storing structured tags in your associated table.

The Tags component allows users to assign one or more labels to a record. Tags are useful for categorization, filtering, and organizing information across workflows.

Unlike single-choice fields, tags allow multiple selections, making them ideal for labeling records with flexible categories such as priorities, departments, skills, or product types.

Tags are stored in the associated table and can later be used for filtering, segmentation, dashboards, and automation workflows.

Basic configuration

Label

Defines the name of the field displayed in the form.

Example:

Tags

Use a clear label that describes the purpose of the tags.

Examples:

• Categories

• Skills

• Product Types

• Priority Labels

Placeholder

Example text displayed inside the input before the user adds a tag.

Example:

Add tag...

This helps guide the user on what action to take.

Description

Optional helper text displayed below the field to provide additional context or instructions.

Example:

Add relevant tags to help categorize this record.

Font

Defines the typography used for the component within the form.

Tag behavior settings

Maximum number of tags

Defines how many tags a user can add.

Example configurations:

• No limit

• Maximum 3 tags

• Maximum 10 tags

This helps control how structured the tagging system remains.

Custom tags

Allows users to create new tags directly from the form.

When enabled, users can type new labels that are not predefined.

When disabled, users can only select from existing tag suggestions.

Appearance settings

Color scheme

Defines the visual color style applied to tags.

Example:

• Default (gray)

This helps maintain visual consistency across forms.

Tag size

Defines the visual size of the tags.

Example options:

• Small

• Medium

• Large

Display mode

Defines how tags are displayed inside the field.

Example:

• Inline (horizontal)

Tags appear side by side in a horizontal layout.

Validation and format

Format validation

Controls whether tag values must follow a specific validation rule.

Default:

No validation

Tag separator

Defines which character separates multiple tags when they are typed.

Example:

Comma (,)

The separator automatically converts text into separate tags.

Example input:

sales, marketing, finance

Result:

sales | marketing | finance

Case sensitive

Defines whether tags with different capitalization are treated as different values.

Example:

Tag ≠ tag

When disabled, capitalization differences are ignored.

Allow duplicates

Allows the same tag to appear multiple times.

Normally this is disabled to avoid redundant tags.

Show suggestions

Displays autocomplete suggestions when typing tags.

This helps maintain consistent tagging across records.

Tag suggestions

Allows administrators to define recommended tags that users can quickly select.

Example suggestions:

Urgent
Internal
Customer
Priority
Follow-up

Required field

When enabled, the user must add at least one tag before submitting the form.
