CHAPTER 04 13

Groups & tags

Give your entries a home and organize them with colored labels.

In this chapter 9 topics

Use groups to give your vault a folder structure and colored tags to connect related records. In this example, organize Northstar Mail inside Abigail’s Vault.

Groups and Tags at a Glance

Groups Tags
Folders that can contain subgroups. Labels that can span several groups.
Each entry belongs to one group. Each entry can have several tags.

We will create a Work group, then give the entry an Important tag in red and a Work tag in blue.

Step 1 — Create a Group

  1. On Vault Home, tap Add (+) > New Group.
  2. Enter Work in Group Name and choose its appearance.
  3. Tap the Save checkmark.

Open Groups to find your new folder.

Use consistent names across your entries. Talos keeps a shared color for each tag name within the vault, helping you recognize the same label wherever you use it.

Step 5 — Save Your Organization

  1. Close Tags with its close button.
  2. Review the red Important and blue Work labels in Edit Entry.
  3. Tap the entry’s Save checkmark.

Update Your Tags

  • Remove a label from an entry: in Edit Entry > Tags, tap the label’s ×, then save the entry.
  • Attach it again: open Manage Tags, enter the same name, choose its color, tap Add Tag, close the sheet, and save.
  • Change its color: tap the added tag in Manage Tags, save its new color, then save the entry.

Groups and tags work independently: moving an entry preserves its labels, and editing its labels preserves its folder location.
