[MLO] TAGs vs Context

[Naseem Javed]

I would like to know if I can assign TAGs to my tasks? I checked context
but TAGs would be more appropriate for me as context servers different
purpose and TAGs different.

Hi, Naseem.
Many people use context to express tags. You can have more than one context
for a task, so you could have one that describes the kind of effort or
tools involved, another describes the area of life or area of focus,
another described for whom you are doing the task and so on

Other people use flags. But you can have only one flag per task.

Hello Naseem,

I use both Contexts and tags. I use the Contexts just for GTD-style
assignment of tasks to the locations they're going to be done (@phone,
@computer, @errand, etc). I use hashtags in my note text to identify the
name of the person responsible, job codes for the time booking system at my
work and some other things. Essentially, if you reserve particular hashtags
or special characters for this purpose (ie use #, ?? and a one or two other
characters), it's easy to set up filters or searches which show you the
tasks featuring these hashtags.

The filter and search functions in MLO are so powerful that I never find I
need another task property field specifically dedicated to tags.

Regards,
Stéphane
