Tags / multiple channels for a task
Carol Brown
I’m new to Sunsama and still in my trial period. First, I’d like to say how much I appreciate Alex’s calm and clear videos!
My need for tags: I come from many years using GTD terminology and changing the definition of “context” is still a challenge for me. I’d like to be able to pull up all the email writing tasks or errands that I need to do across projects and channels. Tagging with smart folders could do this and, from what I’ve seen in my first week, Sunsama would pull it off elegantly. Thanks.

Need this so much. I want to keep track of the area, client and state a task falls in. Been trying other tools like Notion, but none of them come with the awesome time tracking Sunsama has

I really really need this, as i have a hashtag for IMPORTANT, and then a hastag per category that are all separate, but can individually fall into needing attention right away.

Add the ability to add one or more tags to a task or tracked item

Channels are great for assigning categorized work/project time that can then be rolled up into a monthly report. This request is to be able to add tags to each task or tracked item so that they can be categorized maybe by customer and project and other important aspects.
Critical to this feature is the ability to be able to search and create create a table or clear UI output for these tags and/or channels.
Please reach out if you would like more clarification and help to flesh this out more.

Agree with this. The workaround I've come up with is to use contexts as a kind of Kanban to batch tasks into my daily processes across projects. Tasks start in a context called "intake" then once I add first steps, a planned time, start date, and due date they are moved to a channel for their respective project in one of 3 contexts: follow-up, 10-minute tasks, meeting prep + follow up, or deep work. The downside is I have a ton of channels because each project has to be repeated under each context, but I decided it was more important for me to be able to see all the tasks of one type (e.g., 10-minute tasks) across projects together than it was to see all tasks of different types for a project at once (e.g., 10-minute tasks and a deep work task). What this then leaves out is any type of prioritization which I have to do with searchable text.
The ability to view tasks in different ways is so great for focusing and planning, but is just missing a few layers. Ideally I need to be able to organize/sort/filter tasks by work vs personal (already excellent), by project, by task "type" for batching and daily workflow, and by priority.

This suggested improvement was added 4 years ago. Any updates?

Please don't forget about this feature request! Haha. Looking forward to seeing it happen.

Add tags to a task

I'd love to be able to add tags (different than channels) to tasks so that I can analyze how I spend my time more thoroughly. For example, I'd like to be able to mark tasks depending how much "in-flow" I feel while I'm working on that task:
1/ In flow
2/ zone of excellence
3/ zone of competence
4/zone of incompetence

It seems like an easy way to add a ton of flexibility to the app by reusing something that already is there (of course it would need some tweaking to enable multiple channels). That is what has made Bear Notes so amazing indeed
