How to Manage Item Tagging 🏷️

FLX supports tagging at both the inventory/product level and now at the order level in FLX Standard. Tagging can be added manually or through a bulk upload, helping you categorize and manage items and orders more efficiently.

 

🏷️ What is Tagging in FLX?

Tagging in FLX allows you to add labels to products and orders for better organization and management.

Scope Description
Item Tagging Add tags to products in the Inventory or Products section
Order Tagging Add tags to orders individually or in bulk in FLX Standard

 

Once added, tags can be used to:

  • Categorize items and orders
  • Filter items and orders in the grid
  • Include in custom views and exports

You can tag a product as "Clearance" in the Inventory section and an order as "Free Shipping" in the Orders grid to streamline your workflow.

📘 Reference

 

Tag Properties

Field Description
Tag Name The label applied to products or orders. Case-insensitive. Max 255 chars. 
Tag Type Not applicable — Flxpoint tags are simple string labels without categories.
Scope Tags can be applied at the product or order level.  

 

Tag Behavior Notes

- A product or order can have multiple tags applied.
- Tags are stored as part of the object and can be included in exports or automations.
- Tag matching in filters is case-insensitive.
- You cannot assign different colors or types to tags — all are treated equally in logic and views.

 

 

Tag Limitations

- Tags cannot include special characters like `#`, `@`, or `%`.
- There is no current way to restrict tag creation to specific users (no permission gating).
- Order tags **cannot be bulk uploaded** — only added manually or via automation.
