How to Use Data Tagging in Jet Reports?

Overview

Data Tagging in Jet Reports allows users to categorize, organize, and manage reports more efficiently. Tags make it easy to filter, group and locate specific reports across your organization, saving time and improving collaboration.

 

What Is Data Tagging?

 

Data Tagging is a feature that lets you assign descriptive labels (tags) to your reports and data connections. These tags help classify your content by project, department, reporting type, or any custom category you define.

For example:

  • Tag financial reports with Finance or Q4 Results

  • Tag sales dashboards with Sales or Monthly Performance

  • Tag ad-hoc analysis files with Ad-Hoc or Testing

 

Benefits of Using Data Tagging

 

Faster Access: Quickly find reports by tag without browsing multiple folders.
Better Organization: Maintain a clean and structured reporting environment.
Improved Collaboration: Teams can easily identify and share tagged reports.
Enhanced Searchability: Use tags to filter reports based on specific business areas.
