Can you search by tags or tag multiple transactions at the same time? I seem to remember in Quicken you can run a report and then edit the transactions in the report?

Welcome to the Community. Allow me to chime in and provide some clarification about the Tags feature in QuickBooks, stephen-helmsdal. 

 

Tags feature in QuickBooks Online are customizable designs that let you trace your money however you want. When you set tags into groups, you get deeper insights into how your business is doing. You’ll need groups to get reports for your tags. There's a way to assign tags to multiple transactions so you don't have to do it individually. I'd be glad to share these steps with you:

 

  1. Go to the Tags tab under your Banking menu.
  2. Click the See all untagged transactions link.
  3. Select all transactions that you will be adding tags.
  4. Click Update tags, then select Add tags.
  5. Type in the tag that you want to assign.
  6. Click Apply.

 

To know more about how the Tag feature works, see below articles: 

 

Please let me know if you have more questions about the feature or other concerns with QuickBooks Online. Have a good day!

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I found the Tags menu - it's actually under "Bookkeeping" not "Banking" :) Would be a great feature request if you could add tags in list view rather than having to click to enter each transaction. It also seems you can't sort by the different column headers or even filter by tag (that I could see). It's a very powerful feature that's really useful. Again - thanks so much!

2 years later and this feature is STILL not available in QB. There's no point submitting feedback because QB never listens to the community. Thumbs down

I use QBO and it works perfectly fine! I can add tags in bulks to multiple transactions. I wonder what version of QuickBooks do you use that it doesn't work?

Hey folks, has this feature moved?  I no longer have "banking" tab where I could find the tag menu.  it is now called "transactions" and no longer has tags within it.

Hey there, Christina757. Thank you for your inquiry about the Tags feature in QBO. I am happy to provide you with some information about the new interface.

 

Yes, the Tags option has been moved through the Gear icon. I've attached a screenshot for your visual reference:

 

Please review these guides for more details about tags in QBO:

Can you please help me find the setting where I used to be able to look at all of the transactions under a specific tab and bulk update them.  How can I do this with the new update to the tags?

Thanks for joining the thread, @lizsemrau.

 

I've got some insights you need about this Tags feature in QuickBooks Online.

 

As provided by my colleague, GlinetteC, above, the Tags feature that we used to see on the Banking page has already been moved to the Gear icon. However, we can still bulk tag or update transactions. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon. 
  2. Choose Tags.
  3. From there, select the Start tagging transactions.

     
  4. Tick the transactions, then click Update tags.


     

I'll add this article again to get deeper information about tracking transactions: Tag transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, you'll want to organize your books and transactions by checking out this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

I do not get this part of the screen you are showing.  I have tried under both Quickbooks online from the browser and the app, but I don't have that option.  Where would I find this?

I appreciate your reply, @lizsemrau.

 

I'll clarify things about the Start tagging transactions option on the Tags page.

 

Regarding this, we can only utilize the option once. That said, if you've already used it when updating or bulk-tagging your transactions, you're unable to see it again.

 

Alternatively, we can bulk tag transactions from the See all untagged transactions section. Otherwise, update the tagged transactions by opening them under Tags or Tag Groups.

 

Additionally, this article may come in handy to help you manage your transactions for future tasks: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online

 

Drop by in this thread again if you have future concerns with QBO. I'm more than happy to offer help. Good day ahead.

For transaction that have "Split" Category, how do you apply individual Tags?

It's nice to see you here, @lhinson. You'll want to submit a feedback request to our innovators, and I'll be glad to show you how.

 

I see the convenience of tagging split transactions to get deeper insights into your sales and expenses. However, this feature is currently unavailable.

 

With this, you may consider sharing this idea with our product developers. They can consider this for future updates depending on the number of requests. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under the Profile column, select Feedback.
  3. Share your suggestion, then click Next.

 

You can visit our website or blog to track your requests and recent developments.

 

See this article to learn how to edit tags and tag groups: Tag transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm adding this reference to guide you when reviewing and matching transactions: Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

We always aim to serve you best. I'm always here to listen if you have other concerns about managing transactions. Have a good day ahead!
