Template tags and archiving

If your template list has turned into a scroll-fest, this one’s for you.

Tag any template, your way

You can now create custom, color-coded tags and apply them to any template in Dubsado: packages, forms, workflows, flows, schedulers, and scheduler groups. Tag them however your brain works. By service type, client tier, season, project phase, whatever makes sense for your business.

A web designer might tag templates "Brand design" and "Website." A coach might use "VIP," "Group program," and "1:1." A photographer might tag "Wedding," "Engagement," and "Portrait." The tags are yours to create and yours to name.

How to add tags:

  1. Go to any template list (packages, forms, workflows, flows, or schedulers)
  2. Click "Add tags" on the template card (or the tag icon if tags already exist)
  3. Select existing tags from the list, or type a new tag name and click "Create"
  4. Click outside to close. Changes save automatically

Smart matching does the thinking for you

This is the part you're going to love. When you're inside a project and go to add a template, Dubsado checks your project's tags against your template tags and surfaces the best matches at the top of the list.

So if you're in a project tagged "Wedding" and you click to add a form, your wedding forms appear first. You'll see a colored dot next to matched templates, and hovering over it shows a tooltip like "2 tags match project" so you know exactly why it's there.

A quick note: smart matching only works when you're adding a template from inside a project. Make sure both your project and your templates have tags applied for this to work its magic.

Filter your template lists by tag

This is an example of filtering by tags in forms.

Tags work as filters too. On any template list, click "Filter," choose one or more tags, and your list narrows down to just what you need. You can stack filters together (filter by tag and archived status at the same time) and clear them with one click when you're done.

Archive what you're not using

Got templates you're not using right now but can't bring yourself to delete? Same. You can finally archive them. They're hidden from your active list but always one click away if you need them again.

To archive a template:

  1. Click the three-dot menu on any template card
  2. Click "Archive"
  3. The template disappears from your active list

To unarchive:

  1. On any template list page, click "Filter"
  2. Toggle on "Archived"
  3. Find the template you want back
  4. Use the three-dot menu to unarchive

Nothing is ever truly gone. Your active list stays focused on what you're actually using day-to-day, and your old templates are safe in the background.
