# Custom Tags for Reservations and Guests

**Tags** are like colorful little *labels* you can add to your reservations or guests to help you stay organized.

Think of them like **sticky notes** – they tell you something quick about a reservation or a guest without needing to read everything.

### 📌 Example Tags

- **“VIP”** – so staff knows to treat them extra special
- **“Birthday”** – a reminder to bring cake or sing
- **“Window Seat”** – the guest prefers a specific table
- **“No-show before”** – just in case you want to double-confirm

We’ve added the most frequently used tags by default, but you can customize these — turn them off or add your own — to fit your specific needs.

### How to Manage Tags

1. **Open Tag Management Settings**  
   Access your tag settings here: [Tag Management Settings](https://admin.tablein.com/settings/calendar-and-list/tag-management)
2. **Enable or Disable Tags**
   
     - **Blue** tags are currently active and visible in your reservation modal.
     - To disable a tag, simply click it — it will turn white. Don’t forget to **Save** your changes.
3. **Add New Tags**
   
     - Click **Add New Tag** to create your own custom tags.
     - New tags are automatically enabled (blue).
     - To disable or delete them later, click **Edit**, then remove or deselect as needed.

**Reservation and Dietary Tags**

- Applied only to individual reservations.
- Visible and selectable when making or editing a reservation.

**Guest Tags**

- Saved forever with the guest's phone number
- Show up again automatically next time they book

> **Note:** Tag functionality is not supported with the old widget. To enable tag support, update to the latest version here: [Widget Integration Settings](https://admin.tablein.com/settings/online-reservations/widget-integration)

### Tags and the Online Reservation Widget

Reservation tags can also be used in your online booking widget:

- Once added in the **Tag Management**, your custom tags will appear in the widget fields.
- To configure these, go to: [Widget Fields Settings](https://admin.tablein.com/settings/online-reservations/widget-fields)

Active (blue) tags will be shown in the contact details step of the reservation form, allowing guests to select them during booking.
