Tag your studies and filter the library by brand, market or phase

Open a workspace that several teams share and the studies list is one long scroll. A packaging study sits between a dozen studies from another category, last quarter's concept test is three pages down, and the quickest way to find your own work is to remember its exact name. Every lookup costs a minute, and a colleague who wants the research you ran in the spring has no way to find it at all.

How it works

• Create tags that match how you work. Brand, market, quarter, research phase, methodology: any label your team already uses. No fixed hierarchy, no folders to maintain.

• Tag as you go. Open a study, go to the Design tab and find the Tags field under Study Information. Pick existing tags or type to create a new one. Tags appear as badges and come off with one click.

• Filter the studies list. Select one or more tags in the studies overview. The list narrows to the studies that carry every selected tag.

• Keep the set clean. Admins manage the shared tags from Settings, Tags: create and rename them, see how each one is used across studies, and remove the ones nobody needs anymore.

Research teams asked for it in five situations

These come from teams we work with in consumer goods, fragrance and ingredients, entertainment, technology and market research agencies. We kept them anonymous.

• Finding your own work in a shared library. When several teams run studies in one workspace, the person who ran a study should not be the only one who can find it again.

• Organizing by brand, category and market. Larger organizations wanted studies grouped the way the business is structured: by brand, category, region or business unit.

• Separating research phases. Exploratory work, concept tests and ongoing tracking belong to different phases, and teams wanted to see each group on its own.

• Speaking the same language across studies. Teams asked for consistent labels so everyone files and finds studies the same way.

• Checking past research before commissioning new work. In-house teams and agencies wanted a quick way to see what the organization has already run on a question.

What this means for your research

Your studies list stays navigable as it grows, and the structure is yours: a small team gets by with a handful of tags, a large organization can mirror its brand and market map. Tagging happens on the Design page, where you already are, so the library stays organized without a separate housekeeping session.

Some limits to know. Tags organize and filter the studies list; they do not change what is inside a study or who can open it, which study sharing still governs. Filtering with several tags narrows to studies that carry all of them, so pick one tag to see everything under a single label. Agree on a naming convention with your team before the list grows.
