Manage Tags

Create tag groups and tags, assign them to courses, and filter your catalog by tag in Edvello.

Tags let you label courses so admins, tutors, and students can filter and find them faster. This guide covers creating tag groups and tags, assigning tags to a course, and filtering your course list by tag. For what tags are and how scope and permissions work, see Tags.

Who does what

Admin — creates and edits tag groups and tags, and sets each tag’s color.
Tutor — assigns existing tags to courses they manage.
Student — filters and discovers courses using tags; no setup needed.

See Roles and Permissions for how these roles work elsewhere in the dashboard.

Tags are organized into groups, for example Difficulty, Technology, or Job Offering. Edvello’s own create-tag form calls this a tag’s Category. You need at least one tag group before you can create a tag.

1. Open Tags

From the admin dashboard sidebar, under Create, click Tags. This opens /org/[slug]/tags.

2. Create the group

If you don’t have a tag group yet, click Create Tag Group in the empty state. Otherwise, open the dropdown next to Create Tag and choose Create Tag Group. Fill in Group Name and an optional Description, then click Save.

Repeat for each category you want to filter by. A course can carry tags from more than one group at once, for example one Technology tag and one Difficulty tag.

Create a tag

1. Open the create-tag form

Click Create Tag in the top right of the Tags page. This button stays disabled until at least one tag group exists.

2. Fill in the tag

Enter a Tag Name and an optional Description. Use the Category dropdown to choose which tag group this tag belongs to.

3. Pick a color

Click the color swatch and choose one of the 10 preset colors from the popover. The color follows the tag everywhere it shows up: the Tags table, the course settings tag picker, and course cards.

4. Save

Click Save. The tag appears in its group’s rows on the Tags page.

To change a tag or group later, hover its row and open the actions menu, then choose Edit Tag or Edit Group.

Assign tags to a course

Tags aren’t attached to a course automatically. You assign them per course.

1. Open the course’s Settings tab

From the Courses list, open a course, then go to Settings.

2. Add tags

Scroll to the Tags section and click Add tag. A popover lists every tag grouped by category. Click a tag to add it, click it again to remove it. Selected tags show as chips above the picker; you can also remove one directly from its chip.

3. Save changes

Click Save Changes. This is the same screen a Tutor uses to tag a course they’re assigned to. No separate admin action is needed for that step.

Filter courses by tag

Once courses are tagged, filter by tag using the same URL query pattern anywhere in the app: ?tags=<comma-separated-tag-slugs>.

Single tag: /org/acme/courses?tags=beginner
Multiple tags: /org/acme/courses?tags=beginner,react
Public catalog (your academy’s /courses page): /courses?tags=beginner,react

You don’t have to build the URL by hand. On the admin Courses list, use the tag filter control above the course list to check one or more tags. Edvello updates the ?tags= parameter and reloads the filtered list for you. The public course catalog has its own Filter panel with a Tags section that works the same way for visitors browsing your academy.

Deep-link from the Tags page

The Total Courses column on the Tags page is a link: click the number next to any tag to jump straight to the admin course list pre-filtered to that tag (/org/[slug]/courses?tags=<tagSlug>). Use this to see what’s tagged with something before renaming or deleting a tag group.
